My Ride: Alpine E60, '09 535i-Premium, Sport and Comfort Access PackageMods: Lux H8 V3 Angel Eyes, Weisslicht LED license plate lights, Interior LED lights, RPI Scoop, Matte Black Grills, Smoked LED side markers & side reflectors, 35% tint all around, and a 3
One more question.... and some updates...
3) About the Angel Eyes - what does everyone think about Bimmian versus Trinity, versus John at Motorcepts? The thing I like about Bimmian is the website and the comparison: There seems to be "Lux" versus "Weisslicht", and both around similar prices (sub 300). Any preferences? And back to installation, this shouldnt be a problem for my mechanic to just install? (I'll probably print out a "FAQ" or webiste for him).
On that same note, the Bimmian website says "some E60's may have a headlight out error", I'm not a fan of that error - anyone run into that issue?
4) Sound - I'll let that one go, and just plug in my iphone, I'm over it.
Thanks again!

We made our name on building replacement and upgrade angel eyes. We were the first to introduce the Predator ICE module to the public for upgrading the 2001 E39 models back in 2003. So 9 years later, we're still at it making some of the latest technology CREE and BridgeLux based LED products.
Ours are among the brightest in the industry and our Orion V2 leads the industry as far as brightness and quality is concerned (if you want to open the lights up).
None of the kits we sell cause any errors on your dash and we even have advanced high output LED interior bulbs as well.
Give us a look

Let's throw our name in the ring here.

Okay, so now I've officially bought something from all the major vendors here (trinity, motorcept, umnitza), and have to say that everyones been really really helpful.
Next Questions:
7) Navigation DVD - I keep on hearing about a new Navi DVD. Where can I get my hands on one?
8) Side LED Markers - I would like white side LED markers as the clear ones I've got now are starting to turn/change color. The options so far:
Weisslicht LED lenses from Bimian:

Smoked ones from Trinity:

I'm leaning towards the Weisslicht because they look a bit clearer in the picture, but have never seen either.. Any recs?
Thanks again.

For the dull side marker lenses, take some fine cut polish or metal polish and polish them and they'll look like new again.

I know I've asked my slew of questions, I have another as I'm going:
6) Black on white BMW hood emblem/badge: I've seen some people here w/that emblem, what's the quality like? And where can I get one? My current badge has a stone chip in it.
Thanks again. The information is here is fantastic and am taking notes as I go along.

Again, Trinity Autosport has the emblems as well. I opted for the silver/black carbon fiber ones. Contact (PM) Nerweezy, he will get you sorted

I'm just making changes one at a time, not getting ahead of myself, I've ordered the Roundels, Interior lights, Angel Eyes, Plate Frames, and a turn signal LED, so for the next couple weeks I'll be installing.
Thanks again.
