I recently purchased 530i, first BMW I have ever owned. Glad to join the club!

I have what maybe the first a few dumb questions. It looks like I have the headlight washer system. Does this mean if I get a new body kit and replace the front bumper this will no longer work? (As non-OEM won't support this)?

It should work just fine. Most if not all aftermarket body kits will account for the washer system and have a hole cut out with a cover included.

EDIT:
Forgot to mention, congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the forums! There is a lot of great info in past threads so be sure to use the search function when you can.

I am doing some quick and cheap updates/mods then I will post pictures

1) Update all interior lights to white LED
2) Remove Charcoal filter
3) Install K&N filter

Then I also plan to either replace the spark plugs myself (have read a lot on this DIY) or will visit an indie shop that will let me hang out and do this with them.

After that is done I will move to the exterior lights, getting rid of the pre-LCI amber lights.

At that point I will be like 100's of other's out there but it will be a start.

Be sure your car actually has the cold weather package (CWP) and therefore headlight washers. All E60 bumpers have the cut-outs but they are simply covers on cars without the CWP.
