My Ride: 2006 BMW 525ix (N52 Engine)
I don't mean to thread jack here but there's not a whole lot of options for modding these cars.
My question to you is did you buy an 525xi because you really wanted a 525xi? Or did you END UP with a 525xi?
Also do you want a car that will break necks? a high performing car? or a luxurious car?

Im opting out for a "breaking necks" car. Since if i end up trading in my 525xi for another E60 i can just swap things over. Im going to be keeping the car for about 4 to 5 years for sure. Unless something goes wrong. The 525xi is fun in the snow and awesome cruiser in the summer.

My Ride: 2008 535i
See I needed a car, I knew I wanted a E60. I wanted a 530i (545 was a no-no because of gas and my dad sorta talked me out of a 535, because of the twin turbos and maintenance). But at the time i couldnt find anything within the price range. So i found this 525xi, it was within budget and it already had some stuff done to it. Clean car fax etc. So i guess you can say I ENDED up with it. I do like the car still. Good balance of everything. It was just recent that i started thinking about performance mods. But that seems like a lost cause lol.
Im opting out for a "breaking necks" car. Since if i end up trading in my 525xi for another E60 i can just swap things over. Im going to be keeping the car for about 4 to 5 years for sure. Unless something goes wrong. The 525xi is fun in the snow and awesome cruiser in the summer.

Good luck with whatever you choose!

One of the best mods I did was retrofitting CIC so that I could get an Android box that plugs into the display and lets me do Wireless CarPlay. I have it on all the time when I drive, never look at oem CIC screen unless I need to change a setting. The speech button on the steering wheel triggers Siri, the navigation is great. I also retrofitted the active backrest width adjustment and find I really quite enjoy it.
