Welcome to the forum.  From a West-central Alberta member.  Post a picture of your 3 when you get a chance.  First upgrade would/should be to HID headlights with ballasts in the projector low beams and better high beam halogens.  Contact Autolismo, sponsor (Thomas) and check the thread(s) on lighting.  I would recommend 4300K unless you like the bluer light and more kick-back in rain, snow and foggy conditions.

Hello glad to be a part, I'm now a proud owner of a 2005 2.3l Mz 3 GT and I love it to death. I've done some exterior mods but holding back a bit. But if anybody has recommendations on anything to do please send it my way. Also I'm located in Kelowna so if there any meetup's I would love to join.
Thanks guys

The bears won't den up for a while yet but they are eating like crazy right now. 
We were watching the meteor shower around August 12 this summer from the new parking lot for Valley of the Five Lakes.
The bulls were bugling still on the 11th of September and rushing around all lathered up.  It should go on until then.  There was one large bull in the campground trying to wrangle up the cows.

The elk are rutting now.  They have had snow in town.  Pretty cold at night and some foggy mornings.  Watch for bears both black and grizzly.  There was a grizzly in Whistlers Campground in May at less than 50 yards from our site.  I think it was going after elk calves at the bottom of the mountain. 

I was hoping the rut was still active and bears weren't hibernating yet.I am going for a couple nights during the Dark Sky festival ,hopefully get some decent wildlife pics during the day then.
