Hi guys & girls,
Firstly i would like to thank you all for such a great site, i have spent way too many hours reading posts about stuff on my car. However there are a few questions that I would really appreciate some feedback on. I have a 530d se 2004.
1 - Reversing wing mirror tilt
Is this standard on all e60's? my mirror does not move, and i have tried moving the toggle switch on the drivers door.
2 - M5 Wing Vents
I know that some of you well against installing these vents on a non m5, but its my car and i like them, so is there a how 2 installation guide on this site? if so can someone link me to it as i have searched and cant find one. (by the way i wont be using the M5 stickers for these vents, just like the look)
3 - Eibach lowering springs
Has anyone fitted the eibach sportline kit to there 5er? if so can i have some feedback? I want to drop it as much as possible (approx 50mm) without causing problems to car & also without it costing the earth. Any other recomendations would be appreciated.
4 - De chrome window edge
Is this easy to do? roughly what is the cost? again if there it a how 2 guide a link would be great.
5 - IPOD
ONLY JOKING GUYS, I THOUGHT IT WAS COMPULSORY TO ASK THE IPOD QUESTION.
Any help would be really appreciated

First welcome, and in answer to your questions:
1- Yes I think you do need memory seats
2 - I don't particularly like vents on a non-M but enjoy your car the way you like it
3 - I am looking into Eibach Prokit myself 1 inch is enough for me (we do have to deal with driveways and here in SoCal dips as well)
4 - Here's how: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...4&hl=shadow something I plan on SOON
5 - Umm, no I will resist the urge to answer!!!
