My Ride: Bmw 530d 2004
Hello peeps! 
I got my car finished in time for the local car show called Backwoods Cruising. It's a relatively large show in our (Finnish) scale. The cars in show usually represent the average cars in Finland, and only few are very expensive ones. I think this time the most expensive one was a Lamborghini. The overall number of cars was around 250 and there were over 4000 visitors. That is pretty much when considering that our town has approx. 38000 residents, the show lasted only 4 hours and there was an ice-hockey semifinal game in TV at the same time
.
Ok. Updates that I did this spring before taking the car to the show:
- 20" wheels
- painted the calipers and wheel hubs black
- customised decals
- window decals
- lowered the front end a bit
- DPF removal
- engine remap (326hp/666Nm (491 lb ft)
My car was almost the only one that was fenced, but I'm happy I did that. There was this beautiful, just polished solid black Lexus and a Russian lady was leaning on it with all her zippers and was telling her man to take a picture
. Next time I will cut the poles much shorter, though.
The result of the day was meeting lots of nice people and the third place in the audience vote
.
Oh well, here are some pics of my ride. I'll post some pics of my favourite cars in show later.
