So here is the transformation of my 2008 528i which I purchased crashed as can be seen in the pictures below with only 5k miles. After 13 months of working on it little by little after work and in my spare time, I now have a beautiful car just in time for the beautiful weather in NJ. All the work was done by my father and I. The car is basically finished although some things still need to be done which consist mostly of taking it to BMW for programming or resetting, some adjustments on my part here and there and some things that simply need to be re-done to leave this car done exactly how I want it. On my way back to NJ from a recent trip to Orlando, I hit what I think was a possum and tore the front lip. Needless to say I immediately ordered a new one along with a roof spoiler, both of which are painted and ready to be installed and will be put on this Friday right before our Tri-state area meet.

Finally, I just wanted to thank all the forum members and vendors who have helped to empty my pockets! lol From kits, to every imaginable light bulb, eyebrow mods to the exhaust, velocity booster and the wheels..... THANKS!
Enough blah blah blah and now on to the pics..

P.S. - Great taste in mods. Classy AND sporty. What tire sizes did you go with for the 20's? Those are Miro 111's I assume.

I think they look like the same wheels that I have: Breyton GTSR-M

It's hard to tell without close up shots.


BTW to the OP excellent work, and as most have already said get some shadow-line trim ASAP.
