I usually don't like aftermarket rims for cars, but this is an exception. Pretty damn good looking.

Spigen Neo Hybrid for my Galaxy S4. Hands down the nicest case I have ever owned for any device I have ever had. The feeling in hand is indescribable.
Sometimes those things come in packages, like a $3k package, and that can put the car out of budget. At that point it comes down to having the model you want, minus a feature.. or having a different car.
I know HIDs are awesome and the extra visibility is an excellent safety feature, but I wouldn't consider the lack of them a deal killer.
Edit: Oh yeah, forgot my most recent cool little purchase
Freescale Freedom KL25Z. She aint much, but she's got it where it counts.

And I drove a BMW loaner without HIDs and it wasn't really that bad. It seemed pretty good, so I think they've improved reflector tech some.
Otherwise, my car has HIDs... though I guess the next one will have LED headlights.
Went on an Amazon craze. Got two of these bad boys @ $20 a pop. Best I've found with up to 80mbps read speeds - or so they claim. Samsung 32GB Pro Extreme Speed SDHC cards.
and
The new Nest Protect (white battery model)
Lastly, a pair of Ugg Herringbone slippers in black. Always go back to Ugg even though the leather and sheep wool wear-out in less than a year. Worth it, very comfy during the winter and even summer.

Not using an amp - they're either plugged into my phone, iPod(s), iPad or computer really. I'm a bit unexperienced when it comes to HiFi, haha.
They're awesome, though. The sound is extremely rich (or so I say, being fairly unexperienced with HiFi) and it gives me the chills every time. I just love the amount of detail I can hear with these things.
It really feels like this is the music I'm supposed to hear - as if it's exclusively made for my ears. Just very hard to describe, haha!
I managed to break 3 in-ears in 6 months (although I strongly believe it's a design flaw. After a month or two, one of the ears stop working and the other one shortly follows) so I just needed something high-end.

The lighting package from BMW is only $900, which I think is one of the few packages they have that is fairly priced. The poster mentioned that her BF wants to put in aftermarket xenons/angel eyes, but there's absolutely no way anything aftermarket will look even remotely as good or functional as the OEM ones, and will actually make it look like she couldn't afford the xenons to begin with. But really, for the price/headache of aftermarket xenons (which are never very good), she could've just spent the $900 to get the right lights from the beginning. But then again, most people do minimal research and just buy something off the lot, which is almost always poorly or oddly/wonkily optioned.
I was driving through the Mercedes dealer the other week with my wife and they had 15 C-classes in a row, not one had xenons. Half the $50k+ E-classes also had cheap halogens. Baffling that these luxury manufacturers don't just decide to be a leader and make these things standard, halogens date the car and scream base model so easily. Just my opinion, the BMW in question is a nice car but I would've spent money on the lighting package and kept the stock wheels instead. To each their own though.
It's called a Griffin PowerMate. You can use it for a bunch of different applications, or just as a dedicated volume control wheel. I'll be using mine for Final Cut.
Pretty cool looking eh?
