Hi all,
With this post I will try to show the modification of my car. Car is a 2004 jetblack 525d E61.. 17" styling 128 wheels.
It is delivered from factory with cloth basic seat, navi business and HI-FI speakers.
My plans are the following:
Interior:
I have bought black comfort leather seats with memory! Got them cheap at my local breaker.
Parts to upgrade from business navi to professionel. I still need to find the monitor!
ACC if possible!
Black headliner.
Car is delivered with titan interior but I have a dark brown wood lying around but I really would like the alu feinschief or a more special wood interior.. Anyone?
Exterior:
M side skirts is waiting for paint
Alpina front spoiler
Shadow line
I will try to take pictures when the work are in progress and please come with comments or good ideas as the work progresses!

what rims are you going for?

It maybe sound silly but I haven't really been into wheels so I will start with the standard wheels.. I got even the same style for my winter tires!

Can your skilled help also change the programming in the door mirror modules? -- I want to get my M5 Mirrors to Autofold but BMW wants to charge me 1000EUR for a full software reflash
