As the title states, I am looking for an E61 535xit. I have had an E60 M5, E92 335i, currently have an E39 M5, and now I am just going to try something new. I have been looking for more information on pros and cons of owning it, and modding it. There is very little information on that specific vehicle. Who is the master of this domain? Thanks for reading!

 

ucsbwsr is the resident expert in modifying the E61 N54. He's changed and or modified nearly everything on his car. Most of it documented here. https://5series.net/forums/e61-touri...ve-all-135223/

I would suggest getting a manual 6 speed, as far as the engine its exactly the same as the rest of the N54 cars, tons of room to grow. The suspension options are quite limited because of the rear air suspension on the E61.

 

Any real reason aside (aside from being more fun) that I should get a 6MT?

 

Less troublesome than the auto.
