Yes the mirrors!
But i think they are a little too expensive for now!
a) check ebay.de : often you can find good deals!
I will send a PM if I will find something.

b) don't you know we have a member, here, from Germany, who can have them for a very good price ?



The delta is still very very fast cornering car! Believe me!
I need a new exhaust for it, but i don?t know wich brand to choose!
Eheh, post a clip with the new exhaust


P.S- You my friend are a strange Italian! In Europe with so many diesel cars and you don?t like them (ok i don?t like them much too!), and you don?t like the Delta Integrale wich is an icon of the Automobilistic Industry in Italy!
The reason for which people buy a diesel is that the mileage is higher.
But do you want to know my opinion ?
Imho a 530i 272 HP has almost the same consumption of a 535d, because the 545 does 10l/100 km .
Today, at least here, the price of the diesel (fuel) is the same of the petrol (but it will increase) .

So why to buy a diesel car ? Less reliable, the service is more expensive, the sound is not good .
When we decided to buy the 545 it was the fastest E60 and I thought "Mh, there isn't a diesel can keep up "

At the end a 545/550 costs +?1000 per year in fuel, but it is better from all points of view and .. We say you live once!

About the Delta.. I'm not a fan because I don't know it, never sat on it .
I'm sure it is still fast (does it have 200 HP, right ?), but I prefer modern cars with navigation, lights, etc

But tell me what other mods would you consider doing in my car?
M5 mirrors .
Maybe the quad would be a little too much for a Touring, what do you think ?
More mods .. Angel eyes: I have them blue and they are nice by night : when I stop somewhere I keep them on while the car is parked . Not so expensive and it is a quite nice mod

Well lets try to answer it all!

I?ve been checking the ebay but the best i got was 900 euros, an i still it is a lot!!
As for the member you said, well i don?t know who he is!


As for the decision on buying a diesel, well you are absolutely right!!!
As the diesel prices are rising, it is not as good as it was! (and i much prefer petrol over diesel!!)

The Delta has 215hp on this version!
But the best is on a road full of corners! There is where it shows up with all it has! A real fast cornering car!!


Quad exhaust is not on my plans! But changing mine to a 90mm is... just wait and see!!
About the angel eyes, well i don?t know...i like the colours on the original ones, with the xenon and the eyebrows...don?t now...
Show me a picture (your car has the same body colour as mines....so maybe you will convince me!!

And i?m waiting for a pedal set....

VERY Nice!!!!

The wheels suits the car perfectly!!

In that time the Lancia Delta HF Integrale was one of my favourites, but I never had the pleasure of driving it.....
Must be great fun!
NICE!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhh, the Lancia is ready for the summer!
It is now going to the south of Portugal where it will stay for some months! We have a house in Algarve (south of Portugal) wich has some twisted roads! The natural place for the Grale!

May i ask you guys something?

About my new rims....should i paint them...

Shiny black or Matt black? Or in the other hand, leave them like this?

Leave em' as they are!
I love the contrast of dark and bright - I'd say go and have them chromed instead
Probably not doable, but anyway. Come to think of it, I've never seen those type of wheels chromed...

my two cents
