My Ride: Bmw 530d 2004
Inspired by few of the current project threads on the forum, I decided to make my own. However, no major mods are coming, but some little touches to finish the car for the summer 
.
The oncoming plans are:
- new wheels (posted about them on the forums several times already lol!)
- possibly painting the calipers and hubs (maybe this time I get it done
)
- possibly lowering the car little more (KW Street Comfort coilovers that I already have)
- a little individual touch concerning side grille emblems, a roof spoiler emblem and interior
- a power update for the engine
I'm planning to participate a big car show in my hometown in May as well (Backwoods Cruising), if everything goes well (not only with car, but in general).
-----------------------------------
So, the tyres were wrapped on the wheels this week. Will be able to mount them in 3 weeks I guess.
I decided to use these black chrome bolt caps to cover the gray wheel bolt ends.
And these are the individual emblems that I ordered few weeks ago. Member Milko75 designed them for me
. There are few different to choose from!
For now I'm thinking to put the larger ///530d on side grilles and smaller ///ANZAFIN in my ACS roof spoiler.
I think they would look good in these:
And in this (note the old CF sticker):
Just waiting for the snow to melt now!

Those wheels are going to look great on your car Antti, I like the emblem for the side grilles too. Milko did a great job.

Not really a mod for a car, but maybe I'll get into something with it.
