First off congrats and welcome.
The day lights can be adjusted and set up by your local dealer. Second always almost get ready to buy the more costly mod the first time or else you'll be buying the better product second time around or wishing you would have while being pissed at yourself. The angel rings cost that much due to them being LED. 90% of the stuff on ebay sucks so don't use ebay to customize your new BMW. That's not always true but spend $50 more for a product that will bring out your $50,000 BMW. Take a look at bimmian.com and use trinity. Good luck bro

Instead of the M5 kit get yourself an OEM m tech kit. Very similar to the m5 kit but it was made to fit our non m5's. I got my from frank at motorwerks in Minnesota shipped to Chicago. $1200 with tax n shipping.

My Ride: 2010 528i - 6MT: MSport Facia with Spoiler: Haman Side Ground Effects: Rear Trunk Spoiler: Breyton 19" Wheels: AFE Pro R 5 CAI: Remus Muffler

I have a 2010 528i and I added the Remus muffler and the AFE Cool Air intake and it added about 10hp per my dino read out. Considering a remap later. Additionally, I added the Hamann Side skirts and M5 front bumper from Bavarian Auto and a rear spoiler. I got my 19" wheels with matching tires from Tire Rack. Hopefully the attached file will give you a picture of what I did. If you like it then feel free to go that route if not just have fun with your 530.

Nice ride Tlewis, those 19's look small for some reason. I think it's the gap between the tire and firewall in the front. Might be the angle of the picture. Either way very nice setup.

Not sure about the other mods you have in question but I recently purchased a set of ICE VXX from Umnitza and they look great. I have some before and after pics put they were taken with my phone so the qullity is not there. But I would gladly purchase these again.
