I never thought I would get into mods for my E60, but I've already done a few. I'm looking for suggestions of other things to consider. Various topics has given me a list of things to do, but I was hoping that a new thread could serve as a central mod thread.
What I've done so far:
- Tint (F1 Pinnacle, 35%)
- Escort 9500ci
- Laser Interceptors
- T-eye/Rosco Vision Accident/Traffic Cam
Doing next week:
- Angel Eyes
Any other things I should consider?

My Ride: 2011.5 Alpine White E90 M3 | Black Novillo Leather | Carbon Fiber Leather Trim | ZCP | ZP2 | M-DCT | Navigation | Moonroof | 6FL Mods: TMS 12.5mm spacers all around l Hawk HPS Brake Pads l OEM M3 Edition Grills l Paint Matched Side Gills l Key Hole D
wheels and an m-tech kit
performance:
perhaps a piggy back tune like a jb3 or jb+ (and a BT tool to erase warranty codes as needed, or find some local to you that has 1), rpi scoop + drop in filter
for angel eyes, i assume you are just going to get some H8 bulbs, mind as well do the fogs also (same bulb since you don't have the m-sport pkg/mtech)

Also doing the LED courtesy light upgrade and upgrading the map lights.
Any opinion of the angel eyes from angelibright.com?
Also, what recommendations are there for fog light upgrades?

AiB's do not have a product for LCI e60's yet/still...
some have tried the RD LCI bulbs, but reported error codes for those...
most popular are the GP Thunder bulbs...
Fogs: You can choose from HID kits to xenon match bulbs...
run a search, this topic has been discussed a number of times...
