My Ride: 2006 BMW 530i
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hey all,
Just brought home my 2006 530i yesterday. One owner (Florida car), fully loaded (minus navigation) with 54,000 miles. Monaco Blue on Beige Dakota leather. 35% tint on all windows.
Just completed the following maintenance: brand new brake rotors, pads and sensors; oil change, brake and coolant flushes; replaced the cabin and air filters; replaced serpentine belt and belt/pulley tensioner; 4-wheel alignment; and gave it a THOROUGH wash and interior cleaning.
I am looking to upgrade a few things in the coming months (since I've gotten maintenance out of the way), and just wanted to see what some good brands/vendors are for the following parts:
LED Side Marker Lights (clear) - current ones are faded, want something error free.
LED License Plate Lights - to give the car an updated look.
Larger/More Pronounced Exhaust Tips - the current tips (while clean) seem 'dwarfed'. Looking for something a little larger, but nothing outrageous.
I'm looking for the OEM+ look on this car, but am opening to purchasing quality aftermarket parts.
Any help or direction would be appreciated...thanks!

Go to the vendor section in the classifieds. I'm partial to Trinity for better customer service and communication.
Good luck
