There have been some amazing retrofits achieved by board members in the face of all odds.
I wonder, out of the "menu" of facelift goodies, which will be the most popular retrofits?

2. Facelift bumpers (but M-tech might be more attractive to many)
3. Trunk finisher to make it look like Facelift (not M5 style)
4. New Headlights
5. Style 247 Wheels
6. Wood Trim (especially Bamboo) but it would be tricky with those new door panels

I really like the new headlight and the LED tail light. But I think I'm only going to do the rear LED tail light, if possible. I don't mind the way the original headlights look right now.

In our case, if we retrofit the rear tail lights we'll have side LED markers front and rear !

My Ride: 2004 530i (SE), Auto-Dim Int + Folding Ext. Mirrors, Automatic Gearbox, Bluetooth Telephone Preparation, BMW 6 Disc CD Changer, Heated Front Seats, HiFi Speaker System, Leather interior, Navigation System - Business, Sports Suspension, Star Spoke 123 8Jx18" + Run Flat Tyres. M-Tech Kit.
I like the new shifter personally, and the base looks approximately (if not even exactly?) the same size and shape as the old - may be a pos retrofit? - My530i managed the M5's SMG...
