Hey guys,

I have a 2006 530IA with sports and premium package. It is titanium silver (with gray interior) and has OEM 123 rims (18"). Everything is original from the time I bought it new.

Some of the mods on this forum are beautiful. Unfortunately the ones that I like are not the same model or color like my car. If you have done yours already, would you provide information for the following:

1. Recomendations of what body kit is best for my car. Pictures of before and after would be great! :-)

2. How much would it cost to buy, paint and install the body kit. Any recommended shops in Los Angeles or Orange County would be helpful too.

3. What is the big difference between replicas and OEM's? And what are your experiences on them?

4. I paid $58,000 for this car when it was new. Now it's probably worth around $23,000. The car is still running strong and quiet. Is it worth
spending money adding stuff that is most likely not going to bring the market value higher?

I often look at my car and wonder what I can do to make it look better and more "solid". Often times, I am pleased with the way it is. If
guys can help me open my eyes and see beyond, that would be very helpful.

Thank you in advance,


Dan

Vk,

Thanks for the info. What you recommended could be the answer to what I prefer.

Can you or anyone recommend where I can buy it, paint it and getting it installed without unnecessarily over paying? Or is OEM from the dealer is my only option? What is a reasonable price for parts and labor?

Thank you in advance,

Dan

 

Talk to Nerweezy or Trinity autosport they can get you almost anything you want and have recommended shops in the socal area i think, you cant go wrong

 

Thank you, E60. I will keep that in mind while looking for more options.

 

I just ordered the OEM Mtech kit form Tischer BMW. They had it for $1350 + $175 shipping. If you are looking for a replica. Contact Trinity Autosports or Umnitza.

WOW! Good to know...

 

Hi Medik13,

I went to Tischer BMW website and didn't see the price you stated. Would you please provide me the link?

Also, can you or anyone tell me what is the difference between M body kit and M-tech body kit. I went to TrinityAutosport.com and can't seem understand much of the difference. Is the M-tech front bumper less hollow in the middle? Which parts would I need to get my car to look more solid and muscular?

Thank you in advance,


Dan
