Hey guys...So I have had my car for 8 months already and so far im loving it. Its a 2004 Alpine white 530i, so far the mods that I have done include removal of the terribble front winshield banner tint from the previous owner. Matte blk front grills, trinity m5 front bumper and sideskirts, 8k hids lowbeams and foglights, oem shadowline, lci tails with bruce cables, and oem 172 wheels. I have to say that im really happy with the look so far but it annoys me that non e60 owners dont even notice the differences!! Ive spent thousands already and most mods went un noticed but hey I cant complain. Its just funny because I started off with a stock 530i and now its looking more and more like a stock 550i lol its better but still stock looking though.With that being said my next mods will have to be aggressive..im thinking coilovers to lower it then nvd m5 mirrors and oem m5 rear with some 19" miro 111s or oem 166. I have attached 2 pics of before and after let me know what you guys think..
What should I do next? Comments suggestions and input please thanks in advance

man, that looks awesome! loving the black grills....its so subtle but really makes all the difference. nice choice with the M5 tech front bumper as well....much more aggressive than the M-Tech bumper. and the 172s.....always hot.

Looking good.

If you want people to notice. Get a nice set of wheels. Don't get the OEM 166. You'll go from a stock 530 to stock 550 to a stock M5.

def agree with DK people always notice the shoes aka wheels, get a 3 piece wheels such as DPE, HRE OR BBS then your car
will def be noticed by people... and another great mod will be lci headlights...
good luck on the mods
