Hey guys,
I'm new to the Bimmer community, so please bear with me. I just got a 2004 530i with only 25k in the odometer. It's also manual transmission.
I've got no experience with stick shift, so....any advice for a newb?
Also, I was looking into customizing this ride. I didn't know there were already angel lights included in the stock model, but it was a good surprise. Any suggestions on where to start?
Here are some pics:

My Ride: 2004 BMW E60 530i, upgrades: Magnaflow exhaust, Mtec angel eyes and low beam head lights, Just purchased 172 style wheels, looking around for the best tires on Tire Rack now. R1 concepts rotors drilled/slotted. Saving for the M-style kit from Trinity Auto.
That is low mileage for an '04, my '04 has 117,300. Upgraded angel eyes from Mtec are good, the V3's.

For a pre LCI non V8, I bet it seems pretty quick with the manual trans! Very cool you found one with such low miles! Welcome and enjoy!

Yeah, previous owner was an M.D., my guess is that he didn't have time to play with his ride. My dad test drove it and drove it out of the lot.

Great find. I myself just got an 04 525i with only 30k miles on it, manual transmission as well. I went with the MTEC V3 angel eyes and just ordered some new wheels for it. Only a couple more days until I finally get home from overseas and get to take her for a spin
