I always thought my car was HOT, well at least it is in my local area, but then I went to the meet and I realized my car doesn't even stand out a bit
reading the forum every time makes me wanna add more mods to my car, especially after the GOD DAMN malibu meeting.
So I'm kinda debating about either adding more mods to my car, or just go for an M5 since most of my mods are M5 based
would be glad if some expert with pretty accurate sense of BMW parts price to do an estimate calculation for me
if you're nice enough, ha
Here are the Mods I have and mods I wanna add to my current 07 530i
Mods I have:
M-tech full kit $2300
Angelibright v1 $99
Maya DLS 20" +tires $4800
All lights white $100
Color matching fogs $60
Window tint: $160
H&R springs: $500
Carbon Grills: $200
Carbon Badge: $40
Mods I want
Brembo Brakes $????
M5 front bumper+fenders $????
Trunk finisher $???
M5 trunk spoiler $???
M5 mirrors $????
LCI tail lights $???
LCI or Euro Headlights $???? (hate that god damn amber piece)
Eisenmann tips $3000 ?
Smoked taillight $200
last but not least..... maybe some M power? super charger whatever? $????
few Mods I want on my M5 if i'm getting one
1. lowering the car
2. set of new maya DLS with correct offset (wont be stupid and go too wide like right now)
3. eisenmann exhaust
4. a hot girl on the passenger side
Can someone give me a some brief number of my $????s and the M5 mods?
and maybe some opinions?
Looking to do this within 3 - 5 months

If you had 545i/550i I would have suggested to supercharge and mod it, but your 6 cilinder is too weak for an E60: get a 550i or an M5 .

umm......
So pretty much around the same price for both
and I get everything I want with the M5 ..... with an extra 250hp and the priceless M5 badge....
Thanks VT for the info, wonder where you got the parts so cheap tho, the prices you quoted are generally 30% cheaper than my researches except for the brakes.
okay.... no more mods on my 530i

umm I see......... yea I checked eisenmann's website... that iceman exhaust is $3500
anyways couple more questions
Is it better to trade in, or sell my car then go buy the m5?
Is it better if I sell my rims separately and sell the car with the stock 18" rims?
which way can I get the most $ out of my current car?
