Well, DIESEL POWER sound like a lot of Power, but 177hp is not that much 
nonetheless, I would like to introduce myself and my Ride:
My Name is Ivano and I live in Germany,near Frankfurt, but originally I am from Italy,Sardina.
My Beauty is a E61 525D, 2005, 177hp. I bought it 3 years ago, this Year I started with modding(except the wheels)
It's not that much , but time will come and I will modify a bunch of things, so more Mods to come
I like these rims a lot, but IMHO it's not big enough, it's not looking like 20", but they are!
As you can see inside, I bonded the interior trim with carbon fibre-foil, it looks pretty nice, sorry for the bad pics, I will make better ones without the sun reflection..
but now it looks like the interior carbon-fibre trim of the actual M3..
The Diffuser was also bonded with carbon foil, due to the reflection it's not clear enough.
What do you guys think??
Bye,
Ivano

Hello there,
i have the similar one, but your looks great. The only thing what i have changed on my 525d is the output. The guys from AC Schnitzer improved the torgue from 400 to 450NM and output from 130kw to 150kw. It?s not 530d, but goes better than before. Do you have any experience with the swirl flap removal? I would like avoid the problem with completely destroyed engine.
Regards,
Jiri

thanks a lot for the comments,
I will not do anything to the swirl flaps. If the engine brakes,I will kick BMW in the ass for this,because this would be a major problem to the engine, a problem which must be treated out of warranty for sure!
I am thinking to switch the car next year to aM5 Touring, in Germany there are several good deals in the market, the only thing is the insurance, this would kill me^^
They want about 5000?/year...
@PRAGUE Where did you do the AC Schnitzer thing? How much was this? I am thinking to buy a power box, but i'm not sure, if this would make any trouble with the engine.
Next thing will be Sprint Booster!! You can get it here in Germany for about~200?, it's not that much...
