Wheels. Suspension. Kit. Exhaust. but i say buy them. hold on to them. then do it all at once. thats what i woudl've done if i had the funds to buy them all at once.

edit: weezy knwos wassup btw.

 

thanks for the support guys

 

So when I started modding my car, I put a body kit on before I bought my wheels. BIG MISTAKE. The biggest improvement you can make to a stock car is the wheels! I guess some of the people disagree above but from my personal experience, I say that the rims just transform your car. A body kit can go unnoticed, but wheels will always be noticed...especially some DPE's

Have fun modding and post pics afterwards!

 

Good point Joon, do the cheaper mods first and tackle the others later.

 

All good with the questions Ryan, that's what the board is here for.

The Euro overlays cover the amber ugly reflectors in your 2007 5 series. It's a high quality vinyl decal that is applied over the amber to make your headlights look like the euro headlights.

I am having a package deal on my Euro Fresh Overlay kits, with super bright LED turn signals and LED side markers. Best bang for the buck as you will save on buying all of it together.

For question #2: The wheels that your mentioning are called BMW OEM style #172. No modification needed to mount those wheels. Direct fitment.

Question #3: Sprint booster, this does not give you more HP, but only increses the throttle response. Less peddle, more go.

 

I would go performance... looks and taste vary drastically.... If the car you bought was an automatic ... RETURN it... i know nothing about automatics nor would I consider that type of trans. at anytime - sorry just the way it is -

If you are 6MT - then continue!

1-Get yourself some real tires... ps2 or hankook v12 do some research for preference and cost
2 - upgrade your brake line with stainless steel - no more mushi pedal- solid at the top
3 - CDV Modification- your shifting will be faster and more power to the pavement
4- Get yourself a valentine 1 radar detector -- the one with the arrows... best investment ever... it shows you how many where and strength... don't understand why anyone would even consider something that just goes BEEEEEP
5- If you have sport suspension now that is good - if you want to tuck in the front and leave about one finger gap in the back go with Coil-overs with height adjustment- the 550 is a heavy car and if you don't know what you are doing with weight transfer or you track it (not talking about drag or street) the factory knows what they are doing stick with the height adjustment only.
6- your stock pads are ok - stopping power is there.. if you are driving on the track switch over to track pads for the day... do the switch yourself or pay a shop to do the dirty work... pads that work make dust... so anything less than that or dustless have less stopping power or lower heat resistance

Talk to the venders on this forum... and good luck!

 

I'm also considering mods for my 550 but thinking about keeping it simple at first. The first couple of things I want to do is window tinting and MTEC v2.1 AE and fogs.

Whatever you do I'm sure it's going to look great.

Enjoy.

 

We can help you with the mods without a problem

Congrats on the car.

 

I may be the only one to say this, but I did all my mods at once within 2 weeks.
I like to just do all the mods, get it done and spend the rest of my time enjoying the car and tweaking things here and there.

I thought if I did the bodykit, it won't look right without wheels. If I did the wheels, it wouldnt look right without the kit. The kit won't look right wtihout a drop. If I have the kit, it won't look right without angel-eyes and fogs. And having all that on, the car wont sound right without an exhaust. lol. So off to the shop it went and came back with all the mods on.

 

1. Charcoal filter removal
2. CDV removal/modification (6MT only)
