Hi Everyone!!
I am a proud new owner of a 2008 Alpine White 528i CPO. This is my second BMW. I used to own a 2001 328i coupe, then I went Japanese for a decade until now. No offense to Japanese vehicles, but it feels good getting back into a German car. It's been two weeks, but I got the MOD bug. I got a new matte black grill, 6W LED Angel Eyes, 3000K H8 Yellow Fogs, LED Side Markers, and a rear debadge (for a cleaner look). All my products were purchased at Trinity Autosports. Thanks John for all of your help.
Next, I got to get new shoes for my baby. I am thinking I would either go with VMR 710s or M6 wheels in 19 or 20. From reading the posts in this forum, it seems that 19 is the way to go with H&R Springs. Also, thinking about getting a license plate LEDs for a more modern look.
Suggestions?
Ciao for now.

Welcome to the forums! As a fellow AW E60 owner, may I suggest you read through the "All alpine white" thread. That's a good place to start to get ideas for your mods.
EDIT: here's the link All alpine white

welcome! Alpine white is my favorite! I think with a car this big, 20" rims are the best size. Where in Socal are you located?
It will look amazing!
