My Ride: '04 530d Executive, all options except sunroof and comfort seats
ECU remapped by ZipTuning to 260+bhp.
So, a few days ago i bought my new car. An '04 black BMW 530d Executive with almost all options anyone would ever want.
It's got Navi-Pro, Logic7, 19" M-wheels (don't know the rim code, anyone?), beige leather interior, PDC, etc... etc...
Okay, enough talk, pics:
A couple of things i want to change:
- Ziptuning ECU remap (BMW expert here in Holland, maps to 260hp)
- iPod interface
- Another exhaust (or at least, prettier exhaust tips, this current tips aren't very nice)
- Comfort seats (these are very nice, but i've sat in the comfort seats and those are much better)
I'll be sourcing the parts after new years and will do some DIYing.

Your #166s are definitely "deeper" than mine. However, on the inside of the rims it also specifies "BMW", so i don't know.
The dealer assures me they are genuine BMW.

Hehe, i know, but to keep it drivable in Holland, i won't do that.

! I know how you feel, BUT....I always felt and thought the same, until this week.
And at last I can say: You got to lower it buddy!
!Sorry
...Your car looks great, congratulations!
