My Ride: E46 M3 E60 530i
Default

Hi guys, just sold my M3 and purchased 530i yesterday. im so excited i couldnt sleep last night lol.
Btw its an 04 mystic blue on black leather with around 30000 kms / 20 000 miles. its got premium package with heated rear seats and PDC.
my question is:

since this is the premium package, it comes in chrome shadow line, will i be able to paint this in black? just like the ones on sports package? Has anyone done this before? because most likely i will get some 20" rims in black, and tint the windows and put on a set of black grill.

btw its 2 hours and 15 minutes before delivery time... can anyone tell me what to do, im so excited and just cant wait

here are some pictures of my M3:




this is the reason why i sold the car

You can order a set of black shadow lines and change them out. Another member did it on his car, and it looks pretty easy.

Congrats on the purchase, be prepared to waste all of your future free time on this forum researching what mods to do! Welcome to the forum!

Post pics when you get the car!

ricracing:
i might be 19, but i dont drive wrecklessly, i love my car and i dont street race. The accident happened when i was going 50 km/h, thats only like 30 mp/h, and suddenly this 65 yrs old man cuts in front of me from the opposite road, and i t-boned him. Its 100% his fault. Anyhow, everything is covered by the insurance company
you can even see from the picture here, i was on the road with no stop sign or traffic light

Only 19??? Vancouver parents got too much money, haha. With that said, seeing SL's, S classes, 5 series, 7 series roll around Richmond (RichMAN, hehe) like they're Camrys and Civics. I remember seeing 5 SL's in the parking lot of the new T&T.
