My Ride: 2005 silver gray metallic 530i with sport package, premium package, cold weather package, navigation, and L-7 audio.
Hello. I'm new to the forum and have just bought my first BMW; a silver/grey metallic 05 530i. I've gone from Porsche to BMW, and I'm happy so far. What is the best mod you've done to your car so far? The mod you can't live without... I'm a little hesitant at doing anything because the car is so finicky, I don't want a bunch of error messages or computer/software problems. I've heard the sprint booster is a decent addition. Thanks in advance, this is a great site!
All mods, except for going through my exhaust experiments

There's so many options to personalize the car to your own liking. The lag in the throttle is pretty bad, so I'm considering the sprint booster. So far, everyone likes that product. I'm interested in changing the lighting also, but don't know where to start. LED license plate lights look nice, as do the brighter angel eyes. Where's the best place to get good prices for those kinds of items? Is it possible to change out the fog lights to match the xenon headlights? The different light output as well as the color sort of bothers me.
