Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your purchase. Looks like you got a low mileage beauty. Got some plans for mods already?

Welcome to 5 Series! Personally, I always like to start from the ground up. I work with braking and suspension mods first. You can check out some performance upgrades here: Performance Brake Pads, Shocks and Springs, Air Filters and Exhausts - Pelican Parts. I'd check out the ST X coil overs for your vehicle. They're a good bang for your buck coil and they're manufactured by KW. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks I will definitely check that out and start there. I was going to get wheels originally then do suspension but now will probably do it the other way around.
