just got the plug and play "Umnitza ICE VXX (N) BMW LED Upgrade Angel Eyes (WL)"

i hate how they mostly light up just the inner ring and the outer ring is barely visible

and the real new OEM angel eyes are purplish and the Umnitza are bluish

i guess i will keep these until i find some plug and play ones

Your best option would be some Morimoto xb led rings. I have been testing some and I find them to be slightly whiter in color temp. They would require opening the headlights for installation like other LED rings.

I performed the SAT flash myself. You are in the Bay Area correct? Let me know if I can be of service.

Cool that would be great. Yeah I live in San Ramon but I'm alway in San jose since I work at Santana Row. I'll email you after I get some warranty work done at the dealer next week. Thanks Evan.

It will be even better once I get complete my 6-spd swap and RB turbo upgrade!

Evan MT swap! We might need to have a Wagon off haha

Tell me more about the swap, having somebody do it for you, converting to RWD?

I am waiting on my upgraded turbos from Hexon Racing hoping for 600+whp.

I still have a lot of things left for this winter before Bimmerfest Booth, coilovers, Quad Exhaust, custom diffuser, custom lip (look up DINMAN E60 M5 lip) blackout trim lots of mis stuff.

Quick shot prior to winter storage and another tear down then a proper shot. Your car looks great by the way very interested in the MT swap as i want to do it as well.

Nice ride. Make sure you make a thread with how the Hexon upgraded turbo swap goes and how the performance is. Interested on how it goes.

Wagon looks beast! Like a clone of mine! Did you buy it with the M5 front end or did you mod that yourself, your car looks similar to "M3this" but he already had black window trim which makes me think it is a different wagon.

Do you have a build thread on your ride? I have a bunch of questions but don't want to clutter up this thread with them.

Great taste in car and mods!

Evan,

Did everything ourselves so far. Well you did give me inspiration for the wheels your emails helped a lot and your right dealing with forgestar can kinda be a PIA.

Bought the wagon stock, and have been building her up. Its going to be shown at bimmerfest east this year so its still a work in progress at the moment. I don't have a build thread but lots of pictures so I will be making one soon. If you have any questions in the meantime shoot me a PM you also have my email. I am curious about your 6 speed swap as i am thinking of going this way.
