To be honest I was just gonna plastic dip the trim , but I am interested in the turn signal cause I'm not a big fan of the orange .

I would put a suspension on that car, it needs to be lowered. I would remove the decals on the windshield. Lastly, I would install some silver wheels back on the car. the murdered out look is pretty played.


good luck with Uncle Sam. that guy can be a jerk sometimes.

invest in GOOD coilovers. BC racing, or KW
a decent sounding exhaust.

lights, and bulbs, and accessories and such you can always pick that up along the way. You don't need to waste tax return money on that.

I would not wast money on engine power performance for that car. not much you can get out if it.
Good luck on the car. It looks nice and it can be a real head turner if you take car of the bigger tasks first.

Well I did a muffler delete with quad exhaust tips on my 535i but the turbos kind of cancel out the loudness so it's not ridiculous sounding. A lot of guys with 530's i know do magnaflow muffler. Its sounds good and tasteful.
