I am looking to do some simple mods..but I can't think of what to do...so anyone want to help? I have LCI 2008 BMW 528i. So far the car has black and white roundels, 6k fogs, 7500k low beams, and no front plate.

My budget is only about $100. I came up with a list
Matte Black Grilles
License Plate LEDS
Interior LEDS

What else should I get? I look forward to hearing what you guys have to say!

The 525i shown in jdmtoy looks pretty neat with the blue bulbs.

Not a bad mod list. We got all those mods for you, in stock and ready to ship.

I suggest going with our WeissLicht LED license plate housings, these are by far the brightest available with no error codes guaranteed.



As for interior LED, we have the Bimmian Interior LED V2 kits available.

Let me know if you need help with a price, just PM me .

I say go with the matte black kidney grills. Really changes the front end of the car and gives it a unique looked compared to all of the other stock E60s on the road. And besides, you get to enjoy the look of it both day and night. Where as the lights you can only enjoy in the evening. My 2c.
