My Ride: 2005 545i Alpine White Premium package, Sport package, Nav, HUD, PDC
Congrats on the new ride! I like how you documented everything with pictures. Keep em coming when you install your new mods. I enjoy watching the transformation. It's like watching your kid grow up haha.

Hoping to get my coils installed by end of the week, or maybe sooner. I should also be recieveing my m5 steering wheel in few days, still gotta track down a round airbag. Next on my list is to get some lci tails, black out my winter wheels and get ready for snow. Most likely i'm gonna pause on the exterior mods until winter is done, no point of doing body work and get it all chipped from rocks.

unfortunately tech ran out of time so i wasn't able to get my coils installed, rescheduled for 1 week of dec. Here are some pics from last week before putting on the winters:
Today, i finally got my euro stickers for my headlights, as usual i got them installed right away, here are some pics
before shot
putting on the stickers
installed
lastly i also ordered the led signal bulbs
I didnt put on the chrome strips yet on the stickers, planning to put them on when its a little more nicer outside, calgary weather has been insane lately...
next will be coils and maybe some new winter wheels, really hating the 17's, lol.

yeah, deerfoot is literally all ice, so slippery. Was -30 last few days.. loving the heated seats and steering wheel, lol. Almost makes me not wanna swap to the m5 steering wheel i bought.
Im hoping to make a trip to edmonton soon, saw a ad for style 172's for sale, thinking about picking it up. Not sure if i like my 19's or the 172's better, hard choice. My wheels seems very rare on the e60's.

decided to just finish the euro stickers, here is with the chrome overlay. I really like the chrome, gives it a stock look. Wonder how long this chrome will hold up.
