Good on you for the effort -- the results look great.
With the rear air suspension and the panorama roof, these E61s of ours aren't exactly the easist to mod
But hey, that doesn't matter at all, because we can fit much more beer in the back, can't we Patrick

This week, I made several trips to our summer cottage, and jammed the E61 full of stuffs. I was impressed!

Your Touring is looking good Arne, and your wife drives it quite agressive
She passes me sometimes on the freeway when i drive home from work.
I know you changed your old E34 Touring into the E61, i did the same thing, but changed to less powerfull version, and driven by "the devils fuel"(quote: Jeremy Clarkson), the wife is happy though and i still have my car running on "real fuel".
05' 525D.
Some guy is flying in next week to hopefully pick up the old 525i.

Yes my wife likes to drive hard sometimes. Nice ride ?yvind, but you need the M-sport package. Its not very expensive. I checked before i bought mine and was surpriced over the price.

That is awesome! You guys should have a Norwegian E61 Meet & Greet!

As for Arne's wife driving quick, I'm sure its just those mean mods that make it look as though she's driving faster than she really is

First of all. Is it possible to change the title of my thread? Since im not new to the forum anymore, but dont want to make another thread about my car.
But that wasnt the main issue here. I need to do some upgrades to my front end. I need new brakediscs/shoes, bushes and maybe something to make it a bit stiffer? I dont know the correct words for it but i heard something about swaybars? Anyway, i want some new brakediscs but i want slotted or grooved discs and i want to hear where you got yours from? Any good tips where i can order mine? Also, is there someone who sells polyurethane bushes for the frontend so it gets stiffer? All tips are highly appretiated. Because now i have some low dumping noice when i drive and when i brake, its shaking a lot.
