My Ride: BMW E61 525i
Default My new car!

Hey guys!
Me and my girl just got a dog so I had to sell my E92 325i and get a car with a larger trunk.
My first shoice was the BMW E91 but it didn´t really feel right , it wasn´t big enough! So I started to look at E61 and there I found my new baby!

The car is an SE model with a after market m-body kit.

Equipment:
Navi
Power-Leather seats
Panormamic roof
PDC - front and back
Tinted windows
19” Az Schnitzer wheels

Mods to come:
Black kidneys ()
Black window-trim()
Black wraped roof ()
Coilovers()
Carbon fibre wraped splitters ()
Carbon fibre wraped diffuser ()
AUX()
Alpina 19” wheels (newer style) ()


If you have any tip how to easiest get an AUX cable in the car, let me know!

New car:










And the icecream eating puppy:

to the forum, Joagen! You must have a very special puppy indeed to buy him a new car, lol!


What year is your E61? Your aux choices will depend on that.

According to this video

Something like this?

If you're going to go through all of that bother, why not install a USB port too? That will permit you to play content from a flash drive.

Congratulations on the dog and the car. Great looking wheels, why would you want to change them?

Great choices of modifications too!

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the car and the dog. That's the best reason ever to get a wagon, and the it's the same way I ended up with mine. Over on the E60 forum right now, I'm helping another member code the AUX addition, so you may want to check over there (in a thread titled NCS Expert Issue) and the OP might be able to help you out with the AUX since they're doing it right now.

BTW, I highly recommend the coilovers move to the top of your mod list.

Thanks man
Didn´t like them at first but they´re starting to grow on me. I dont know if my disslike has something to to with the height of the car that´s make them look odd or it´s the fact that my dad hade the same sort of wheels on his 645 in 2005 that make me think of them as old or something...

Thank you
I know, I was also sickly tired that I had to get out of the car for letting somebody else getting in the backseat.
Yep I´ll order springs/coils this week. I´m thinking of going with H&R 35mm springs instead of coils. What do you think about that?
Ok I´ll see you over there

I think you'll like them better when you close the wheel well gap. If not, you can always toss them...I'll pay shipping, I'll even pay someone to pack them for you ;-)
