My Ride: 545 SE Auto in Black
Default

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

My new BIG brakes-picture_082.jpg

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

I have one question regarding the seats. How did you manage to make them work ?
whne you buythe seats you have to get the brains with them they sit under the seat base. My car came with fully electric so it was just plug and play. I had to reset my air bag. All the functions (bar active seats) will work. I am buying the control panel with the active seats button, and will then get a loom made to make them work. (Stoneface has already had this done). I then got my BMW indy to clear the seat modules so that the car can be coded if required, if this is not done and you take it to BMW they will not be able to code the car as it will reject the seat modules. You can overcome this by putting your old modules back in but thats to much hassle, and all the function (like lumber support) well not work. I have just brought another set of seats for my mates M5 which we will be fitting

here is a pic of the brain (stone face putting it in)

what u need fo rthe m5 front bumper is the following
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)

can you go into a little more detail on this? what is the build date on your car? did you have the nav pre-wire option?
