Hi everyone its the new guy again ![Tongue](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/tongue.gif)
I am planning to get myself calipers with bmw written on. there are brembos everywhere. Eventhough my brake system is brembo I want the bmw written ones for e60! ! ! !
If there is anyone or anywhere who is selling please advise !
And the other thing is, I've seen a topic about white led angels for e60, please contact me as I am interested in buying those as well.
I can't complete the mods over two months because of the snow

As for calipers with BMW on them, you could paint them using high temp. paint. Then use decals to paste on BMW. Several members have done this on here and I myself plan to do this over the summer. Both the paint and decals can be purchased on eBay and a rather cheap alternative.
As for white angel eyes, do you have an LCI or pre-LCI E60? You would just need to get LED bulbs. Just let us know if you have pre-LCI or LCI.

And for the angel eyes, I have LCI e60.

Since you have LCI... If you want to go with plug-n-play the best options is just switching out the stock halogen bulbs with LEDs. There are tons on the net, but for me personally some of the best pics I have seen are from MTEC V3 and LUX H8. I have personally tested LUX H8 and they are really bright and the best LED I have tested (I have not personally tested MTEC).

Something you need to consider with LED is that during a bright day they are very hard to see due to the design of the E60 coronas. So if you really want to go with something really bright that can be seen during the day another option is HID. Check out this thread:
https://5series.net/forums/topic/967...h-xenons-only/
This isn't plug-n-play, however the install isn't too hard and simply requires connecting positive/negative wires to their respective places, which is mentioned clearly in the DIY. I have tested HID as well and these can be see without any issues during a bright day. During the night they are really bright though just so you know, especially when Xenons come on.
Either way you go, LED or HID the inner ring of the angel eye always look brighter then the outer ring due to the design of the E60. They do not match in comparison to the new F10 for example.
Another option and one I am trying to go for now is Orion v2. Check it out here:

This however requires cutting open your headlights. But one of the best options out there if you want some sweet angel eyes. Several members on here have also gone this route and they have awesome looking headlights.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am a big fan of the orion v2 as well !!!
I don't want something that is disturbingly bright at night, so eventhough they look good I'll pass the HID.
I think the guys here do Mtec and it did not seem very visible.
So I think I should go for the orion v2![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
any forum members selling this so we keep all inside the forum ?
edit: I also love these
