Hey 700700

If you don't mind me asking, why the obsession with the number 7?
An example of a "Seven Series"?

Are the MStyle quads "cosmetic" rather than functional?

I'm in Ireland and quite keen to do some mods, however only (decent) option seems to be to go through a dealer.

Debadging 80 euro ...fine
Chrome grill 250 euro...okay
Xenon conversion 5,500 euro!!!!!!! WHAT!!!
I think I'll hold out on the last one for a while

Is it M-style in the UK that have done all your mods?

My Ride: Nov 2003 530D SE Auto in Mystic Blue with Grey Dakota Leather, Business Nav. Star Spoke 124 18"s, Blootooth Preperation. Modifications so far: M5 spoiler, M5 trunk finisher, hometronic rear view mirror, Maple Wood interior trim. Mods to come: M5 style quad exhaust and M5 rear bumper, Dechroming, black ebay grilles, tints, upgrade to factory amp, by the time I've done these, I'm sure I'll have thought of some more....

no they're very well done, each side with its own silencer and the fork is up towards the manifold, the gases seem to do a pretty good job of exiting on a 50/50 basis which is good too.

you can debadge it easily yourself, use a hairdryer to warm up the badge and the area around it, then dental floss in behind the badge, then clean off any remaining goo and you're good to go.

M-style did the following bits: quad exhaust, m5 rear bumper, m5 skirts, m-tech front bumper, de-chroming, colour coding on front grille and ac schnitzer exhaust.
