I am excited about a few new mods I'm planning

So far I've procured a set of front rotors (R1 Concept drilled and slotted) and a G2 Blue caliper paint kit. I've noticed that the finish on my BBS's is beginning to develop small cracks, so I'll probably be getting those powdercoated one of these days. And Chris has inspired me to try my hand at vinyl wrapping, so I've been pondering getting my hands on some of that...


So that's about where I'm at so far. What are your plans for this season? Any mods? Track days? Meets?

My mods are pretty much done. I do want to replace my roof and trunk spoilers, and possibly refinish my wheels. The modding is tapering down while I decide how much longer I actually want to keep my car. I know it will be gone to someone else before it hits 100k (it's at 79k)

man, im just happy you're keeping your car to be honest!


upcoming mods for the spring/summer (most this wknd):

• CF front lip & side panel extensions....just dropped the mocks off at the machine shop this morning
• thinking about a set of 20" wheels powdercoated gloss black if i can get the right price on this used set that needs work
• Orion V2 + Ehssan blackout method (doing this on friday)
• Creating my own yellow AEs from the stock bulbs...on paper it should work but we will see (i want to backlight the orions with yellow)
• strongly considering removing all my trim and covering it in real CF then completing the look with a clear resin (still researching this one)
• Dinan 16% underdrive pully - seems like my next performance mod this summer
• LCI tails....i refuse to pay a lot so the hunt continues
• lowering spring install (maybe tonight if i can find a breaker bar for this strut tower bolt thats being a sonofabitch to loosen)

i could go on & on but check out my build thread for more info lol

Id love to convert my 530i to dual exhaust, add a body kit or maybe just m5 front bumper and rear bumper with that black plastic along the bottom (sorry for not knowing the proper terminology I think it might be called difuser) im not sold on the skirts part yet and my rim money is all ready packed away in the draw just waiting for the right deal to come along, its still a toss up between 166 & 167. And a nice spoiler I don't know the brand of the one I like I've seen it on 550s I don't know if that's how they come stock. I haven't seen it on my color car though because I heard they don't make M's in titanium silver.

Last summer
outside I did the blackout orions already matte black grill and blackout roundels

This winter I did
inside with 10 inch sub and amp, back up cam and mod my nav video inputs which includes video ipod., retrofitted aux jack and added calling Bluetooth and music via bt.

So slowly I'm getting there..

the M style wheels on the 550i are called 172s or Style 172

Thanks Chris I confused u I either want 166 or 167 rims as far as the 550 goes i just like its spoiler i dunno if that's a standard M spoiler or if there is a difference between it and the one on the m5. I know I've seen some after market ones on here that I don't really care to much for

Whaaat... E90 make over?! But it's great already!
