My Ride: No mods
So these are my final mods. Im not going anywhere fast with my 525i, so I decided to make the car look and sound better. I got my exhaust (I wanted Eisenmann, but too $$$) so I went with a custom exhaust (magnaflow) + tips and did my shadowline trim.
Enjoy!
shadowline
oh I included a vid b/c i knew ppl would be interested of how it sounds. It sounds ok while reving, but its super loud when driving
Magnaflow 525i

I like the way you think John. Make the car look and sound better. Your car looks GREAT! I want to see more pictures. 
PS,
There's no such thing as a final mod. You'll be modding again. For example, M5 mirrors, powder coat the 166s, etc... It never stops completely. You're just going to take a break.

if you don't mind me asking, what was the pricing of the exhaust? "super loud when driving" meaning interior cabin noise?

Great job John! The shadowline is key! Makes the car look so much better.
As for the cost, how much was everything, including labor, for the exhaust?
And don't talk jibberish about this being the end of modding.

thx everyone for your compliments. exhaust was suprising cheap, 215 with labor and tax. its a good price for a deeper sound and bigger tips!

I was thinking of powdercoating, but I got mixed opinions on them. It will be a long break on modding thats for sure tho
!to ro11dice: theres a bit of a drone inside the cabin. but to cancel it out, I got my subwoofer, lol.

Last mod, hard to believe. Its a never ending process.
Wait until you start seeing all the new 5's on the road, with the updated 2008 led tail lights. Hard to pass those up.
