Hello guys,

I bought my first bimmer about 2 weeks ago and i'm itchin to get mods for it.
I've been reading the posts on here, bimmerfest, and m5 forums about what to get first.
I was into building hondas back in the day but i've been outta that scene for years now.
Basically i want to get a good idea of what to get for my 07 550i and also keep away from whats wack.

So heres a couple of questions:
1. i definitely want to change the stock headlight bulbs. I've been reading about angel eyes and stuff but not really sure what it is.
Are those just replacement bulbs? or is it a conversion kit? I really like the bright blue halo look.

2. I definitely want to pick an Mtech kit all around. I've seen EuroRev's add. Is that a replica or same as dealer's?
Guys with the Mtech kit, do you still angle when coming out of driveways?

3. Wheels and tires. I'm looking for a set with fat lips or step lips. What are some good brands? some brands to stay away from?
I'm thinkin bout 20s without lowering. Will i need to roll my fenders? I would rather not roll them,
also considering buying a smaller set of tires and stretching across so they wouldnt rub.
Would i need to use the Tire sensors on these? Can i deactivate the tire sensors from idrive?

bimmer specs: 07 550i silver grey, stock 18s
This will also be my daily driver.
Your comments will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum. For the Angel Eyes, they're replacement bulbs. The M-tech kit from EuroRev are not replicas and are from the dealers. And finally for your last question. The choices are endless. Search the gallery for ideas. I'm sure several vendors will PM you.

angel eye is the ring around the headlight.. should be currently yellow. you can change the headlight bulb. Your car will be d1s.

mtech kit from euro rev and trinity is the real oem bumper. same one as dealers. i didnt go after mtech for myself because it is lower than my acs lip kit and i even scrap bottom. but hey it looks good anyway so do it.

if you use proper tire size and offset you wont have to roll fenders. and do not stretch smaller tire. not good for your ride unless you wanna crash your 550 and make it look like beat up 20 year old honda. whenever you replace to aftermarket rims you need to transfer your tmps. i tried to deactivate tpms but didnt work.

also can i buy your 18 if you sell them for cheap price?

search, read, search then read!!! and go with what you like! Your driving a German engineered vehicle so 99% of all people hate it when someone mod a euro to look like a ricer. But all in all its your car so do what you want!
