Hi All,

I am new to the forum and need some advice, I have just bought a 525d M Sport Silver and I have started to buy a few things for it. Can some one let me know if they think I am doing good. I have ordered led's for the side lights so my rings are white and also a xenon kit for the fogs and for the headlight, led's for the number plate (rear) and also led kit for interior lights to be white.

I want to wrap my roof in Di-Noc and so I ordered all the badges for the car in carbon. I was wondering if I should also wrap the rear spoiler which is an M5 spoiler I think ?

Apart from that I have remapped it my self and its quick.

feedback would be great.

Hey welcome to forums mate.

Those mods sounds really great.. Why not add those and then think do you want more mods..

There are tons of parts you can have fun with. M5 mirrors, lowering the car etc. You can try looking around at various member's photo galleries for inspiration. That's what I did!

gotta love starting with a blank canvas man...

i agree with dr.jonezz start with the stuff you have outlined and then post some pics, get some opinions and feedback. i think youre off to a great start. try wrapping the spoiler and taking a look at it....you can always pull the wrap off and go back to stock. beyond that, consider some M5 mirrors, they drastically change the look of your car overnight. new wheels too!


as for quacks' suggestion, here take a look at one of my posts from last summer after my first round of mods....maybe some ideas will spark some inspiration for you

Great job! Since your roof is now carbon maybe a carbon wrapped lip? The contrast and with your roof now wrapped will look amazing. I'd even wrap the diffuser to match the theme you got going. If you got the bucks and time try to get M5 mirrors and have them partially wrapped. You can find some awesome replicas here: https://5series.net/forums/topic/880...1#entry1039386
