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....

the mirrors hopefully (fingers crossed) theres a guy in the classifieds promising he can get us original bmw m5 mirrors cheap direct from germany, but the price still seems huge...imagine having them robbed off the car! youd go nuts after spending that much!

only considerations are the roof spoiler and the exhaust, as they're not bmw parts.
You yourself are calling your car an SE.
I believe that your mods have substantially changed the insurance risk.
Or were your mods meant to be "neutral"?

My Ride: 2005 545i with everything
I agree with those that say lose the silly //M badge. I don't care how much M-stuff you bolt on, a 530d is NOT a M. And lose the childish license plates while you are at it. Other than that it looks great, nice job.
