Hello All,
I used this forum quite a bit when I was shopping around for my E60.
-I ended up buying a 2007 jetblack 530i with cold/premium/sports package/ comfort access/ premium sound/Sat radio (pretty much all the typical toys except nav) . CPO (~1yr left) and 67,000 Miles on the clock.-- I was $22,500 OTD. Good deal???
-With all that said, the car is totally stock any suggestions on what MODs to do to this car.
So far I've been thinking ....front and rear sport bumpers, spolier, tint, euro long plates, led lights.... etc best place to source them?
Also if there is a good shop in New Orleans to help with installation or has good parts.
Last but not least bad news bears ..... I keep getting a error code with the adaptive headlights .... they work and the dealer said the code has been cleared out once already, but they came back; thoughts? covered by CPO?
Also I have a clunking sound on my passengar side when I go over small bumps... thoughts? Ball joint wear?
appreciate all the help and advice.
David

As far as mods go... get the big 3 done; LOL and by that I mean Tinting, Wheels, and lowering. Those are the 3 mods that make the biggest visual impact in my eyes. After those 3 mods I then start to look body pieces and such.
