I am interested in Modding my 2006 525i (22k miles) with Angel Bright 2.0 and some other minor things... Just curious if anyone near Bridgewater/Somerville area has done similar mods, so I could get some assistance in helping me with those mods .. Thanks.

Here you go.. Car pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/pmendu/MyCar
I definitely need to change the rims.. Lately I think it is not that shiny as new (Even though 2006 cpo), may need some polishing?
pls recommend any other cheap mods exterior, dont think need anything interior. Just like the looks to be a bit diff, than Standard Factory look.. Thanks!!
Just bought this 3weeks back for $33,500 w/20k miles (Premium,cold,xenon,sat pkgs).
Tint: Don't think Tinting would look good for this color car.. On Black exterior, tint would be sexyyy!!!!
Fogs: Rareeeeeely use fogs, so not sure if worth investing.

Nice car. 
Tinting will be fine for your color. It's Silver Gray right? I know many people with Silver Gray that have tinted their car. And, it looks good!
If you want to take the inexpensive route for wheels, I'd recommend OEM wheels. All the aftermarket wheels are $$$$.

I live in NJ and I think it is very strict on window tinting.. I heard somewhere NJ dont allow window tinting. Your's look more shinier than mine.. Not sure if urs is a good camera or something.. or u did some polishing on the exterior?

I live in NJ (exit 4) and have lumar tint 35% for about one year now, with no law enforcement problems (knock on wood) I think it has to do with the type of car that has tints..
