Default Ideas

Ok guys I have a black 2008 535xi and I have no clue on what to do to it. I'm listening to all ideas so keep throwing them at me! All I have so far is a black grille on it. Tints are definitely coming next and then I don't know! I definitely want the m5 style front bumper and side skirts. As for the wheels, I came down to 2 options..the e60 m5 wheels or the 7 series style 95 wheels.

Most of all, it's a matter of taste.
I had friends literally hit me for some stuff I did on my car.
You can check out my blog for some inspiration.
I find it very fun to have a theme to follow (adding green stuff everywhere).
You probably won't go out of ideas there.

IIRC xi models had different wheel offsets so be careful when buying rims and make sure you don't end up getting non-xi offsets which won't fit.

Recommend you get an aftermarket intake and some kind of tune for the engine. You might be able to score some used piggy back modules (like the JB4) for a good price. A modded N54 motor is a beast if its well maintained.
