Hi all,

Few pics in the link, and I will have my trailer hitch and roof rack write up shortly.

BTW: for those of you with a N54, you REALLY need to get yourself a JB4, it turns a good car into a great car!

Welcome to the forums and congrats on the beauty! I'm a bit biased... ;-)

Looks like you're from BC? Where exactly? And where did you get your car from?

Well done!

I'd vote for a Cobb personally though... The piggyback tunes are enough of a PITA to install as it is in an E90 car, even more so in the E60's... If you're out of warranty though, I suppose you probably aren't going to be uninstalling it again.

I am on Vancouver Island, but the pics are in the interior, had to go on a nice long drive post delivery.

It's actually a certified car with 50kms from Ottawa, I bought it through my local dealer, came with a set of snows in 17" rims, and is in pretty immaculate shape.

As for the tune, I debated cobb vs jb4 quite a bit. For sure the cobb has the ease of use factor, but I think the edge for support goes to the jb4, Meth anyone!

I actually may switch to the Cobb at one point just to see what the comparison is like. it's like Chevy vs ford though the forums tend to be pretty one sided one way or the other.

I am also blessed with a dealer that's ok with the mods. They said nothing I have done will effect my CPO, so I figure downpipes and meth are next

Thanks all!

Wow, lucky you. The Procede piggy is quite popular too, but as you say, each one has its own fanboys. I have heard though that Terry's customer service is superb. Vishnu's is pretty good too though. With Cobb, you can now get custom tuning done remotely for a couple hundred $, which people have been raving about. I believe they're on their way to supporting meth too (Wow, you're going all out!), they already support E85 gas.

Enjoy the car! They're super rare in Canada!

No roof rails? Are they optional in Canada? I wish I didn't have them...looks good without.

2008Msport

Yup, car was spec'ed without roof rails. I think it looks great too, but of corse, I need a roof rack

Will post details later but I am going to be fitting the eom racks for the e60 to carry the roof box.

I didn't think you could option them that way for North America...

Funny, a guy on here went thru a lot of trouble to take his rails off. His handle's TLO03. Got a beautiful white wagon, and he's wrapped the roof black vinyl too.

You can get Thule feet I'm sure for the car, in case you want to look into that option. I got Thule feet for our roof rails, and am super happy with them and the new Aeroblade bars. More flexibility that way I'm sure with things, cheaper probably, and the bars you can get different lengths.

Where is this TLO03 guy? Nice wagon good luck with it...

And all the kids are doing g5 board w/ Cobb back end flash I'll let you know once I finish the hfs4 install..
