My Ride: 2006 BMW 530i
Sport Pkg
Black Sapphire Metallic/Gray Leather
Very nice! I have an 06 530i, also debadged (I like the clean look).
Not a fan of the black kidneys, but looks good on silver (my car is black).
I am getting ready to add the MTech front bumper and side skirts (keeping stock rear bumper) next week. I'll post pics soon after.
Also upgrading my AE's and fogs to a more "white" light....we'll see how it turns out - hopefully they will match the xenons, and not be too blue.
Finally, is a front lic plate mandatory in MA? If you're getting a new front end...you may want to keep it clean. Here in MO we are supposed to have one, but I took mine off a few years ago - no problems (yet). I got pulled over once for speeding, but the cop never looked at the front, as he was always behind me.
I asked the BMW dealer, and he said he delivers quite a few cars w/o the front plates, that people just roll the dice. And he said if they get caught (which is rare), it's only about a $75 ticket, then they just put them on. Anyways, I've been going with no front plate for quite a while with no issues. This is not a recommendation, just letting you know my experience. Something for you to consider....
All in all your car is looking great!
