Updates:

5/16/06: If you saw the previous version of this car, look again. Everything is redone and reinstalled (by myself this time), with lots of new goodies.

Intro:

May I not-so-humbly present the best-sounding E60 on Earth. Full aftermarket audio system, car PC, plus other exterior, interior, and engine mods. 3000 watts of aural goodness. Here's a full picture set and a list of mods:

You have a sweet E60. I love the SSR wheels and the big brakes. Also, you're sound system is over the top awesome. I'm truly surprised that you only have 4 stars, so with that said I'm giving you the 5 stars you deserve. Also, if you get a minute, check out my E39 and let me know what you think.
