Are the headlights custom made or can they be bought? They look really sick!

Thanks. Both headlights are custom, as in not "off the shelf". The units on the 550i were purchased through someone who used to do headlight modifications as a business, I say used to because everyone I talk to says he moved down to southern California and kind of disappeared but I don't know the whole story.

I personally performed the headlight modifications on my wagon. I can see why other headlight retrofitters charge so much money to work on these headlights, the E60 units are a pain to open and reseal.

Looks dope man. What air is your buddy riding on? I'm thinking of bagging my 5, after getting the Lexus that has air, I love the ride. The BMW is so rough on the current coilovers, I'd probably drive it more on air.

I want to say AccuAir but I am not certain. He is bringing his other car over for some headlight modifications so I will ask him to clarify at that time.

A local E60 owner came over with his bagged 550i sitting on Radenergie R10s (love those wheels). Both of our vehicles are heavily modified including headlights and tails, it was fun to compare the two. Sedan vs Wagon, V8 vs TT6, Bagged vs Static, etc. Both cars are dirty!

A lot of winning in these photos, hope you enjoy ...you probably will since you are in the "Accessories and Mods" section on 5series.net!

Your wagon is so dope..

Thanks guys. It certainly is a rare, practical, and capable machine.

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

May I ask what a RB turbo upgrade is, roller bearing, or do you mean a BB (ball bearing) upgrade? Been turbocharging since '92 and the cost vs the spool imo is not worth it. On another note have you looked into upgrading your auto transmission as it shifts faster than a manual, albeit I also love manual transmissions so I am just asking.


I am not knocking your choices and respect everyone's choices I am just curious.
