Looks great , damn i need some cash...... I want to shadowline and put on new alloys now.
I don't even want to figure how much I've spent money on mods ...

Exterior mods from April 2007 to this day:
- wheels (18" M166 replicas and now 19" Rondell matte black 0049's / 17" BBS's for winter with spacers)
- M-tech package
- Shadowline window trim
- Black matte kidney grilles
- White Led angel eyes
- KW Street Comfort coilovers
- Hamann style CF splitter (Schmiedmann's "Hockenheim")
- ACS style roof spoiler
- Trunk finisher
- Exhaust tips painted matte black
- Debadged (I think I'll never get the matte black "530d" text from Bimmian)
- Rear window tinted 35%

Not a fan of the black rims, sorry. Haven't seen a car that they have looked good on when compared with alum.
