Whoa! 
Thank you all for the positive feedback!
The wheels are Iconz 830ZRC 9x20 and 10x20
.
Good looking paint is a number one for me. I couldn't stand it if the paint was all swirly. Of course there are some scratches, and for some reason they don't bug me at all, but the swirls
.
Keep it coming!
What do you think about the remap? I think it was a true success.

Car looks good, I love metallic paints ability to hide swirl marks and fine scratches. We used to have A Edge that had black metallic paint and for 2 years it was ran thorugh the car wash about once a week and when we sold it you could not see one mark on it. Our current BMW is jet black and you can't look at it without leaving a mark

Antti, very nice car and setup. 
I can see you have a quad exhaust and I'd like to ask, if your 530 didn't have originally vacuum control to open the second exhaust pipe flap?
I'm not sure if you understand what I mean, I have 535d and there is an exhaust vacuum control flap:

I was thinking about the quad exhaust as well, but just wondering, if this has nothing to do with the exhaust back pressure and than it cut affect both turbos.

I don't have the vacuum control, but I know many people here in Finland who have installed a quad exhaust in their 535d/335d. Some have even a full straight pipe and no problems.
