Hello guys, I am new to the BMW forums and just bought a 06 BMW 525xi, alpine white in color. I am looking to upgrade to the aero kit and wanted to know where is the best price to find one? My local BMW dealership said $3500 for the kit and installed but isnt it easy to do yourself? Also I wanted some wheels for my car and didnt know if anyone had any ideas on some wheels and pictues on the car itself. Im looking around 19' and just wanted to know your guys thoughts.

Thanks

Try Garry at Newport BMW.....he sells to e60 members at 25% off....he wont be able to have the M-Tech kit painted for you, but you can have it done localy at a body shop, then install yourself. It is a pretty easy DYI job...I did mine by myself in about 4 hours...although stopping for the occational beer break didnt help things......

I think I paid around that man from my local dealer, but I can tell you man, best quality on paint, lifetime warranty, they repaint my hood and also installed the kit I think I paid $2,000.. so you should be looking at around $1,500 for paint and installation..

This is no joke, just when you think you are finished, something else comes up. I was 'done' a few thousand dollars ago.

Welcome to the forum!
