My Ride: 545 SE Auto in Black
I've had my 545 for nealy 3 months but havent posted up any many pics (waiting for a few extra bits to turn up) but at the weekend i fitted my BBK's. took me about 2.5 hours as the bastard bolt on the drivers side that holds the discs in place was stuck so I had to drill the head off it, anyway here are a few pics
6 pots with 400mm front drilled discs
Other mods I have done so far are
20" hamann rims (10.5 rear with 295/25/20) tyres 9" up front (255/30/20)
M5 wings
M5 front bumper
M5 rear bumper
M5 Interior (brains cleared so the car can still be coded had to use the brains out the M5 to make some of the functions of the seats work BMW said that the seat moudles cannot be cleared however my indy who is brill cleared them and has updated the car with the latest software)
M5 original mirrors (with fold up done by the key)
M5 Steering wheel
Hamman boot and bonnet badges
Hamman rear spoiler
eissamnn quad rear exhaust
Upgraded to proff Nav (had to replace the idrive and get the CCC coded to my car as it was out of a crashed 535d sport, it well work without coding but when you connect the car up for coding it throws up errors so i wanted this done properly)
8000k xenon bulbs (upgraded the standard xenon bulbs)
white Angel Eyes
Silvber carbon side vents with hamman logo in
Black grills
Eibach pro lowering kit
All the parts inc the kit were fitted at home, the car was painted at BMW Brentford by member stoneface. The car was coded by Jason in West London hounslow http://www.bwchiptune.co.uk/homepage.htm, he will also be doing the live data map on my engine once I have fitted the AFE induction
On order
Hamman side skirts
Hamman rear apron for my bumper
Hamman front spliiter for the m5 bumper
After this i will sort out the ICE and some engine mods
side vents
M5 seats
M5 wheel (havent fitted the CCC in this pic thats why you see the smaller screen and no DVD slot)
front end
Rear end
side shot not the best but you get the idea (wasnt lowered in this pic)
I'll get some better pics once i finish fittingthe rest of the kit and get some spare time :-)

I have one question regarding the seats. How did you manage to make them work ?

The wing

the front bumper (lol)
The brake ducts
The metal carriers for the brake ducts (you have to modify the passanger side one to fit as the washer bottle is there)
The inner arches (but i changed the wings)
the 2 sides carriers for it (theres bolt up on the wing)
