My Ride: Stock 2004 530i with most options. 18" M5 look alike wheels Bought August 2008 with 34k on it.
2006 Range Rover Sport with K&N filter and Borla cat back exhaust.
Maybe a Defender soon or an old M3 to play with, although the wife has other ideas!
Hello All-
Relative new to the forum and thinking about some small mods for my 04 530i. With a budget of 1200 and max of 1500, what would you do? I have upgraded the wheels and tires to a staggered fitment and also bought the BMW MOST iPod integration kit for the iDrive. I also tinted the windows 35%. I am not interested in engine mods or go fast parts (I am close to completing a deal on an 03 Carrera C4 so the need for speed is going to be well satisfied) I thought of buying blackout grills or maybe a decklid spoiler like the M5. An Mtech front bumper? Maybe exhaust if it has a nice sound but quiet inside? Anyone want to put in their two cents?
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Scott
Ask Hartsa.
He has a really nice sounding and looking Supersprint -exhaust system on his 520i.
It didn't cost much, either, well in your budget.
PS. Did you debadge your car and get Euro reflectors already?

I would do the M Tech front bumper + lowering springs. I have seen a couple E60 with just the front bumper and if they have nice wheels and a decent drop it looks great with just the front bumper.
Post up some pics of what the car looks like now. What wheels you running?
