Assuming you buy into the materialistic aspect of it all. I'd like uhh.... This (http://http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-7-Series-760Li-LOADED-2004-BMW-760LI-TRENTO-5-w-PHONE-Maxed-SOUND-EntertCent_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6009QQitemZ4 594096063QQrdZ1) for a daily driver and an m5 for weekends. But seriously, anyone? World peace? Your wife (husband) to actually make you breakfast in the morning?

...grow apple trees and honey bees and snow white turtle doves.
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
I'd like to buy the world a coke and keep it company.

Nah, really, being from NC, I like Pepsi.

On my list:
lip spoiler for the 318is
can of spray paint for aforementioned lip spoiler
clips for said lip spoiler
fifth of whiskey for when the lip spoiler gets knocked off and run over...
one of those nifty ebay cup holders for the E34
the paint fairy to miraculously come to my house and paint all the rooms that need painting (and the outside trim, and the garage...)

Heck, world peace and no hunger seems easier :)

I have an extra set of harnesses for the touring. I changed mine out battling a lic plate error message that turned out to be headlight adjuster motors.

Make me an offer.

PS the footpack system is the greatest mod. You might want to add the Thule 1600 to your list.

I'd like someone to pay off my $40,000 student loan!

I'm suprised no one's asked for a plasma TV!

I would ask for one, but I spoiled myself and bought it early. 42" Toshiba. Phenominal.
Actually, its a present for my girlfriend for our new house. Her present to me is a living room set. Oh, and sex. Lots of sex.

Little stuff on the list like:

Dark wood desk for my office
Wine rack refrigerator (they look so damn cool)
Wine for said refrigerator (I've been told I can't put boxes of wine in there)
HDTV tuner for my PC (once you go HD, you don't go back)
Someone to finally make a deal on some trim pieces for the car instead of ignoring my emails.

I can't think of anything else other than that.

Yeah, Thule rocks. I used to sell the stuff. Just be careful with low clearances. I've seen more than one car opened like a sardine can.

Believe it or not I have not taken many pics of the M5 at all since I bought it this past April.

Don't do enough major tripping yet....

Thanks for the PM re: the footpack. I contacted Marty @ Martys Cycle in Avon, OH and he told me what to get and what to do with it.....I can't wait!

Now I have two Thule footpack sets that will go unused....#369 which I used on the old 535 and #415 which I used on my 89 Jimmy's factory roof rails.

I will PM you with an offer for the wiring harnesses!

They made a few different spring/strut combos for the car....

The car has Dinan linear rate springs with custom valved bilsteins, adjustable sway bars, and camber mounts for the front struts......which constitutes a stage III setup per dinan. Self-levelling has been eliminated.
