I've recently been struck by the Retrofit bug and I'm wondering what all have people Retrofited either via BMW or themselves. Only list items that BMW offer as factory options in any model, so no massive subwoofers installs etc. Don't repeat what others have listed and also no wheels.
My list
My list
- Voice Input
- Aux Input
- 12V rear power sockets and Aux
- Interior Footwell lights

Put me down for the AUX input, Umnitza Predator Ice bulbs, and soon to be front and rear bumpers, sideskirts, and trunk finisher.
Edit: I guess the bulbs don't count based on the rules. Sorry.

The idea of this topic was to give people a view of a 2nd chance in case they are feeling sad about not ordering the factory option. I know for a fact that most options are very expensive as retrofits but some are cheaper done later.
No photos of the footwell lights but they are the exact same ones as you get in the Extended lights option. Only now instead of black blanking plates I have lights as found inside the glovebox. See http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=37592
