Thanks man Yea im trying to try something different


-I already have a wish list once i get the car lol
lighting wise
hid everything/ led
angel eyes, reverse lights, interiors, license plate lamps, fog lights, turn signals and side marks... thats all i can think of for now,
Exhaust, cf dual diffuser, M5 lip spoiler, cf m-tech splitters, and for wheels im thinking 20" iconz 840z gunmetal center and polished lip... i saw one member selling them and i thought they look fantasic.

and you know a bunch of other stuff that i cant think of lol

I can tell you right now that the e55 is faster.... in a straight line but I love the BMWs' for there handling, i bought the E55 because my 530 was a little to slow and i waited to have a car quick enough to be in the front with the m5s' during the meets but with the hydraulic suspension it cant take the hard turns.... i popped one of the hydraulic supports..... :thumbsdown: was not fun at all it was 3g for each to be replaced...

The amount of work that goes into Reverse HID is massive but John @ motorcepts did a great job and everything looks factory. + its great to be able to turn that switch on when ever you want lol , enjoy guys more to come as the car gets updated
