hello everyone I'm new here,

I have a stock 2007 black on black BMW 530i with premium package. I wanted to make this a project car. I'm looking to modify this car to its maximum capability. I'm and expert on Japanese Import mods but clueless on Euro mods. I feel foreign to topic.

I would do everything on my own but the problem is that I don't have a whole lot of time to do research into bmw modifications, and body design. I want to 1st start with the body and then move to engine and performance.

If anybody has info aggressive rims, lights, body kits, or anything cosmetic please let me know.

I will post pics of the progressively changing project vehicle.

I am glad to be part of the 5 series forums

TIA

D

Welcome to the forum! As Pete so eloquently said, you need to post this in the E60 section of the forum, not the F10 section. You'll get plenty of help there...

Welcome Bimmer5Project! Good to see you have joined the Euro side . As far as body kits go lots of options. Depending on how much money you have to spend. ACS/Alpina/MTECH....

For lights the guy to ask is John (brabusw209amg/). You have Angle Eyes...AE. HID fogs, HID Low Beams....lots of options for that too.

Rims once again depends on your budget.

For starters I would recommend this. Black And White BMW Roundels, Matte Black Gilles, Tints, LED interior kit, LED plate lights, LED/HID Angle Eyes, HID kit for your lowbeam, HID fogs (if you want some import style get 3000k HID NICE YELLOW), Smoked Tails (Up to you I think it would look hot on a blacked out car).....Those all should cost you no more then $500-$600.

If you have any questions feel free to post and many members would be willing to help you out!

Thanks for the warm welcome and the great advice! I don't like to read things carefully, that's the problem!

First welcome, anything you need there are tons of vendors on the forum that is more than willing to help. If you want wheels Michael from acute proformace can help you with that trinity autosport is also a great vendor that carries almost everything and if your looking for local Motorcepts in queens, I go to them because I don't trust anyone else with my cars + they can help change the entire look of your car to w/e you want, gl and let us know if you need anything... for wheels i would recommend Iforged Equip V3 you get both deep dish and concavity... damn....I'm like a free advertisement for them lol but i really want to see someone with those wheels they are
