Hello and greetings from Finland.
Try to enjoy (and understand my bad english)...

I'm am just sit down and watch that great forum, but now I think it's time to let my ride come forward with some pics.

I bought that car in december 2009, after x-mas.

Color is Amethyst Grau, and interior is Leder Dakota/Rosenholz.

Original equipments:

S255A Sports Leather Steering Wheel
S261A Side Airbags For Rear Passengers
S402A Panorama Glass Roof
S423A Floor Mats, Velours
S428A Warning Triangle and First Aid Kit
S430A Interior/outside Mirror With Auto Dip
S431A Interior Rear-View Mirror With Auto Dip
S435A Fine Wood Trim
S441A Smoker Package
S456A Comfort Seats With Memory
S464A Skibag
S494A Seat Heating Driver/Passenger
S502A Headlight Cleaning System
S508A Park Distance Control
S522A Xenon Light
S524A Adaptive Headlights
S536A Auxiliary Heating
S563A Light Package
S609A Navigation System Professional
S620A Voice Control
S672A CD Changer For 6 CDs
S698A Area-Code 2 For DVD
L801A National Version Germany

S473A Armrest Front
S534A Automatic Air Condition
S540A Cruise Control
S548A Speedometer With Kilometer Reading
S785A White Direction Indicator Lights
S851A Language Version German

Now the voice control, etc. are in english.

Prev owner has made some mods, like extra subwoofer in passengers footspace and tinted windows...and 313hp/650Nm

It looks like that, when I buy it.


Then I get some mods. First I made the Shadowline...in this case Carbonline
originals are wrapped with DiNoc cf-tape.


I also changed all interiorlights to the leds. Licenseplate lights and AngelEyes are leds too.
Thanks Brabusw209 I promise you to put some pics in forum, but I have only one. I try to take some pics more soon.



And then I get what i was waited since I get that car...
M-sport (and matte black kidneys)




sorry about that twirl in diffusor




And few more things to wrapped with Di-Noc CF...




And new pedals...



Now I think it can be like that for a while...

...but I have one diffusor without paint and some piece of cf-tape still in garage...lets see

And YES!
I know, I know...some day I want 20" wheels.

Looking good! As I said on some forum before, the Amethyst Grau (too) goes really well with the M-Sport package.

Where did you get the pedals and foot rest??

Great looking car ^3!and you mods are suburb

I had wished we in the US could get the M57T motor in the E61, but now we can't buy the F11 at all.

I guess I will hold onto my E61 for a very long time.

on board and enjoy the forums

Love what you've done with the car. Amethyst, M-Sport + black trims/grills just looks fantastic.
The interior is also great, always liked the Amethyst / Black "bi-colour" look and it works really well with the carbon trims.

There is an extra subwoofer (if I remember right, Focal 8") in passenger's legroom and that knob is bass-adjustment for that.
The previous owner had installed that subwoofer...little bit weird setup, because subwoofer goes sleep when I turn off the car. Sound changes like there would not have bass at all :thumbsdown:
