Default BMW 525i 2007 - Questions

Automatic Morning Defrost?
I recently discovered the feature to automatically turn the AC on.

There are a few drawbacks, though. It seems it only works for the one time you enable it and you cant change any of the settings (such as turning on the front and rear windshield blowers).

Are there any modifications I can do to edit the software?
Or am I just completely missing how to set this up?



Cosmetic Enhancements?
I'm sure most of you will think this is laughable...but any recommends for cheap ways to make a white '07 look a little more sporty?

I love how clean the car looks, but I think its time for me to make a few small changes (decals, vents, etc).


I'm 17 and don't have a job, so anything is directly from my savings.

Here's what it looks like: http://media1.ph.88db.com/DB88Upload...316FC380B8.jpg

Just note that I don't want to be driving around in a BMW that looks like a ricegrinder. I want to keep it classy.
Also--please don't recommend an M5 decal. That's just shameful.

So far, I have been looking into blackening the roof (maybe with some wrap) and getting some black mirror covers.
Possibly going for this look (everything blacked out or white): http://www.wann...r/vinylwrapping/vinylroofwrap690.jpg

I would say get your kidney grills out and paint it with Plastic Dip ( Home Depot). Paint them in black. Then next, you can use those Plastic Dip spray can and paint your rims. It easier then you think it would be. Next, would be a mtech bumper, LEDs, etc.

Ok, thanks!

How well does the plastidip hold up with time?
Does it come off easily if I need to respray?
