Part way through modding my E60. What do you guy's think so far?

Here's a list of what i've doe so far:-

- Mtech front sides and rear
- Schnitzer front flippers blended in to front bumper
- LCI rear tailights with Bruces cables
- LCI headlight conversion
- M5 trunk finisher
- 20 inch style 101's
- LED rear licence plate upgrade
- Mtec bulb upgrade for fogs and angeleyes

Still to come :-

- need to fit Schnitzer M diffuser. (waiting for a free weekend)
- John's interior LED bulb upgrade
- John's HID fogs (Not happy with the mtec fogs)



Will take some more pics later in the week

Looking good. That silver looks showroom fresh.

That is the stock ride height? It looks lowered.

Ride height is stock sport suspension. For some reason my car has aways sat really low. I'm not complaining

I really like the wheels, where did you get them from?

I bought the wheels used from a guy locally here in the uk. They were removed from a E65 7 series. I split them and had the outer rim mirror polished. I put a lot of time and effort in refinshing the wheels to a high standard. Also the dilemma of deciding which tyres to fit. Ended up going for 285 25 20 rears and 255 30 20 fronts.

I remeber that E61, its belongs to one of our Scandic members. The M101 is a very classy rim IMHO and works great as 20" with the M-Sport pack. I like the polished lip mod that you did, that's a nice individual touch
