Hey everyone.

Ive been driving around my 2007 530i sport package and love it. I was thinking of adding a few accessories.

What do you guys think of the M trunk spoiler? Would it be cheezy to put it on a 530i without an aero kit? Also the lower reflector area... My car is Silver Gray Metallic. Do you guys think the red reflectors are a must? Right now it is just painted the same as the car,stock.

Thanks

Eddie

The spoiler don't look cheezy at all. I have T silver 530i with M trunk spoiler and those reflectors are stock for us. They look OKish, but I will get the M-kit installed soon, and then it will look complete.

Personally, I think the red reflectors are the best mod money can buy.....well, certainly the least expensive!! At about $12/each, I think they completely change the look of the rear. It's also the quickest way to spot other E60.net members on the road, since here in the U.S. hardly anyone outside this forum knows about them. My S.A., and even parts guy didn't know about them. As for the spoiler, I don't think having a 530 should have any impact on your decision. If you like the look, go for it! Enjoy your car!

Ok great.

Thanks for the replies! Does anyone have a picture of a silver gray with the spoiler and reflectors without the m-kit?

Just want to see how it would look.


Thanks again

Your right. The reflectors do look nice. Anyone have a link to purchase these?

Also does anyone have a picture of m trunk lip without the aero kit?

Thanks
