Best tip I can give is to get it in shape to best enjoy it - the FTO's are 10-15 yr old cars now and most could do with a bit of tlc esp in the suspension (bushes/droplinks/dampers + strut braces) and engine departments (make sure the cambelt has been changed, aux belts, denso iridium sparkplugs, regular fully synth oil changes). Nice to haves would be a good set of rims (Rota make some nice inexpensive light rims), lowering springs (Apex, Eibach etc) and in the sound department a nice catback (or decat) stainless exhaust and perhaps an ITG or HKS filter (pref with cold air induction) for better sound from the V6.

www.camskill.co.uk is one of the best place for new parts (& tyres) - Steelroe (Rory) on here will look after you for any 2nd hand parts you need.

Welcome to the club - now lets see some pics.

Will be a fraction of the running costs of a 540 also - assuming that you're referring to a BMW 540i ??
