My Ride: 2008 BMW 528i
Hey Guys (and Gals),
Sorry for the long delay but I just wanted to post some quick pictures of my BMW project so far. I have not done anything to it in about two months but I wanted to post and thank all the members and the forum for all the help so. My goal was to keep it as close to OEM as possible and only use high quality parts (or OEM) parts for the upgrades and mods if possible. Sorry about the "not so great" pictures, they were taken with my iPhone. I will get around to taking some more and better (more recent) ones shortly soon. I have listed all the mods/upgrades I have done so far.
Car Specs:
2008 BMW 528i
Automatic
Alpine White with Black Leatherette interior
iDrive and Navigation
PDC Sensors
Here are my upgrades so far:
Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering springs
Bilstein Sport Shocks
OEM BMW Shadowline Kit
M5 Front Bumper w/PDC sensors (I have since removed the M5 bumper and installed the OEM Mtech bumper. I will post pics soon.)
19" Staggered set rims
Here are my Mods so far:
White LED Eyebrow Mod (not shown) - Thanks Nigxdoof for the great help and support.
HID Low beams and full LED interior lights - Thanks Brabusw209amg
Front and rear Roundels, Matte Black Grill - Thanks Trinity Autosports
Multimedia Module with Front and rear camera - Thanks Mod My Nav (especially Kris for all the great tech support)
Future Mods/Upgrades:
Stereo Upgrade (nothing major I just want better/clearer sound, suggestions are welcome)
Convert my nav unit to the harddrive based (CCC) one
Figure out how to get the BMW Remote iPhone app to work with my car
Install the module that allows me to roll up and down my windows (plus more) with my factory remote
OEM M5 mirrors (As close to OEM install as possible)
HID HiBeams and Fogs
Again, thank you to all the forum members for all the help and information. Sorry for the long post.

They are made by a company called Vertini and are called Savari. I wanted to find a wheel that has the black shadow look on the inside of the spokes. It gives me less to clean.

Nicely done! Love the AW. The only problem, as I see it, is the size of your engine! ;-)
This white eyebrow mod, I am VERY interested in achieving same. Is it hard to do?

Yeah...I know the engine is kinda wimpy but with the way the speeding ticket costs are growing I figured the smaller engine maybe a good thing for me. It is still pretty zippy and fun to drive. Mostly I could no pass up finding a white one with black interior. I had been looking for a long time.
