My Ride: BMW E60 530i
Hi guys, I've managed to save up some more money and wish to do the following modification but require all of your assistance as to the order and amount of money actually needed!
Please help! I've got about AUD$6,000.00.
1. ECU remap;
2. Sprint Booster;
3. LCI Headlight and tail lights;
4. iDrive upgrade - so that I can have daylight running light (just the angel eyes) and welcome lights;
5. Side and reverse camera installation.
Please let me know if I need to do it in certain order to avoid problems and/or issues!

*No need for sprint booster if you got a remap. I think they probably will not perform well together. Sprint booster cost roughly $300.
*LCI Headlights, member anand_rahim has a set for sale. https://5series.net/forums/topic/898...&#entry1062434
*Tail lights, contact member ricky1329. He sells them for approx. $525 shipped to the US.
*Light Control Module for the LCI Lights retrofit approx. $350-$500
*Coding from dealer: Not sure, but you may ask your local dealer for pricing. FYI: labor will be about $150 per hour.(You will need to install the lights and wire it up beofore the coding to avoid errors. This should also save you a lot of money since the time to wire it up may be time consuming.)
*Daytime running lights cancel so only AE's come in when switch is turned to right one position, 1 hour of labor from dealer. $150
*Side and reverse camera: Contact Alek at http://alekshop.com/multimedia

I would get the camera first, then headlights+taillight. Next, go to get the iDrive programmed - you'll need it anyway. Last, do the ECU tune and forget about the SB - you won't need it with the ECU tune. Someone will correct me if I'm leaving something out, but this is basically it.
