Thanks to this forum and bimmerfest, I have found invaluable info and materials to allow me begin to make tasteful mods to my new ride. The first of such mods have just been installed - new 166s wrapped with Dunlop Derazzi DZ101 tires in 245/35/19 all around. The rims are reps, of course... but they are sure sweet. Total transformation of a ho-hum 530i with the stock 17"s. I put in a 40% tint all around... yeah, its not the darkest tint but I wanted something uniform and not too dark on my dark mystic blue color. Overall, the two slight mods transform the car nicely. Next mods are going to be very subtle - upgrading the fogs to hyperwhites, changing out interior lights to LEDs and replacing stock lows with 6000K or 8000K HIDs.

Here are some pics... Let me know what you guys think...

 

Very nice! I'll beat the California guys to it and tell you to drop it! That's going to be their first recommendation...

 

excellent, and love the wheels, i got those too!!

more mods to come??

 

Really Nice.

Rims make a huge difference. Enjoy!!

 

Sweet.. looks clean!!!!

 

Thanks all... Yes, more mods to come. Modding never ends I am not sure about a drop tho'. Don't want to mess with my stock suspension and ruin the ride quality, which on those 19"s are superb.

 

congrats. welcome and enjoy the forums.

 

Welcome to the forum! Looking good Rocket!

 

Welcome Aboard. You are so right. Sometimes I wish I still have the stock Sport Suspension ride.
As time passes, it's getting better (less bumpy) as the (Aftermarket Sport) springs adjust/settle.

 

Understated good looks! Welcome to the forum!
