I'm using my old 17s as winter tyres for when I take trips to the snow hence the summer tyre decision this time round.

My Ride: BMW e61 530d
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
New to the forum, just had a look through all 108 pages - lots of good looking beemers and plenty of ideas for me...
Put a deposit down last week on a 2008 e61 530d (48000km) - it's also a manual thank god! SO hard to find proper gearboxes in these cars! - I cant get on with autos.
Pick the car up in a few weeks...mods planned already:
Straight away,
Retrofit Cruise Control - NO IDEA why it doesn't have it already
BMW Performance gloss black kidney grills
Silver indicator bulbs.
Leather seat re-trim.
Towbar (which can be hidden from view)
Then,
Wheel/Tyre upgrade - 19inch 166s are first choice, but may go for style 32s or aftermarket 18s
(The roads in Spain are not the best, so maybe better to have the extra rubber - hard to decide).
Anti roll bars + Front strut brace and a rear one maybe.
Uprated brake pads/fluid.
Remap would be nice too.
Keep the pics coming!
