Ok so I've have my car a month or so now and feel the need to mod. I've done DMS and Sprint Booster. I'm thinking maybe a front splitter, rear spoiler ... can anybody recommend any good supplies of genuine (not eBay Taiwan crap!) parts that ship to the UK? Also in addition to bodywork, what mods can I do to a 535d? I'll need them to be prepainted and easy DIY fit as I don't know / trust any local shops to work on my car.

Are things like the cold air intake an option or is that petrol only?

Help me out ... I want to add bits but am stuck on ideas!

Thanks!

The front splitters will drive you crazy because they always get scratched / broken on speed bumps , driveway inclines etc....I suggest the following 3 , trunk finisher, Mtrunk spoiler and a ACS roof spoiler.
Then maybe M Mirrors, oh and a quad exhaust system,...... these would really look great on your car.

Cheers

Do the quad or upgrade the sound and let that baby breathe. But if you're like me whose better half prefer a tamed luxury sport sedan, don't go through the trouble that I'm already in.

Don't want to be a wannabe Could have got an M5 but didn't want one this time round. Just want to mod the car a bit for fun!! Will give the splitter a miss, too many speed bumps round here. Rear spoiler, definitely. Quads ... not sure about those on a diesel...

radioham - you say you have got "idrive dvd changer system" ... can you elaborate?? sounds interesting!
