Thumbs up N00B - From BMW to EVOOOOOOOO! Heylo!

Took the plunge and bought an EVO. I sure am glad I did! 4 days of ownership and I giggle like a school girl every time I get out!

I've had a few BMWs and never thought I would sway from the brand, but the EVO is everything I want performance wise and more. Also the simplistic and driver oriented dash really leave nothing else to be desired, no distractions.

Below are a few camera phone pics I took the other day.

Specs on the IX are:

2006 Evo IX SE
9k miles
Perrin Rear Sway(only mod)
Extra set of Wheels (Rota P45 18x8.5) - Thinking about selling or trading for another set of BBS!

Got lucky and found a GEM of a vehicle. Already have my first AUTO-X with the BMWCCA this Sunday. Any advise guys???

Anyhoo, wanted to introduce myself since this will be my new home once I sell my M3.

These are a few vids friends and I made in South Florida from back in the day; posting them maybe to get myself some initial credibility:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_HMytPo2ng (Driving E60 BMW M5)

I have since moved to TX and started a family. Now with the purchase of the EVO I can start having automotive fun again!
