Hi,
You have a really hot ride, but keep it German.
The steering wheel is very 'rice', not a good thing on a German premium sedan it is out of place.
You do not want your car to look like a rice rocket. It is just as bad as putting some Asian characters on the body of the car.

Very nice ride! First picture is wonderful. I would lose the steering wheel cover though. Even apart from the looks, I can't imagine that it improves the feel of the wheel.
I agree on the steering cover :thumbsdown: has to go.

Excellent photo shoot, first of all.
I am not a big carbon fibre fan but in your photos, it looks great.
I agree with other folks here, the steering wheel cover has to go. Please?

Nice to meet you, the Hood is designed by myself and it is producted on my friend's factory, So it is wet-carbon not dry-carbon, Although it looks beautiful, it's more heavier than original hood, So I think it just can improve the look but lose the speed!
Dear frined, I install Rieger sides go over originals like you, I buy Rieger full bodykit, It's including the rear lip. My AP racing breake system(355mm + 6 pot) cost me RMB30,000yuan , about USD4000.
I'll use 18inch wheels instead of 20inch because the situation of the road in China is too bad, but I think My 530I is also one of the best E60 in China. Hoho.

Do you know a site or a place I can call to get that carbon fiber hood? I don't care so much for the weight as I just want the look. Also you said the rear lip came iwth your rieger kit? My Rieger didn't come with it. Anyway you can show me where you got yours? becuase I'm not talking about the Rieger Rear bumper I'm talking about the Lip you have thats at the bottom of the bumper. I don't see the part on any of Riegers site or distributors site.

I am sorry to inform you that I can not find website after I change the computer. I bought the rear lip which came with full kits from their website, I asked them to send me the front lip and rear lip, but it was too low to drive in China after installing the front lip with Bilstein PSS9 suspension system...
