^^ That'll contrast nicely with the silver 
My next mod is coming on Wednesday... Wetterauer voodoo... from 218ps to 260ps and from 500nm to 580nm
I'm in Germany for a week, so have been doing some high speed runs. The cars getting up to 240-250 (speedo) on longer stretches, but its hard work after 235. I know this remap will be most effective around the 80-180 area, but it will still be interesting to see what it does to the top speed. Its good to be back in the land of derestricted autobahns...... what am I talking about, I mean I hope this improves the way the automatic changes gear and saves fuel

Thanks mate.
I purchased the BMW Mobility set today, does that also count as a mod? OK ok, that was a poor attempt
I have ordered a Brushed Alluminium Handbrake via Trinity. Its made by Bimmian. It should match the alluminium on the automatic lever
I should receive it next week when I am back in Copenhagen.
When you wrote about the CF diffuser, I had a feeling it was another "southern special"

Yes, IMHO the mobility kit counts as a mod!
Now, lets hope that you never actually have to use it!
The handbrake cover is nice, and it is easy to install. Speaking of which, my ACS cover has yet to be removed from the box!
And you are correct about the diffuser. It should arrive from Trieste next week!
Soon, there won't be anything left of ///Marco.it's E61...!

2nd mod for me after the Alpina alloy wheels are the illuminated entrance covers. I got rid of the M style and got these. Are fantastic, the BMW inscriptions have the same colour of the illumination of the M5 instrument cluster and they are made of brushed metal like mine M style aluminum trims.

Those covers look sick! Where do I buy them, and do I dare to ask the price?
And that was the example price for the E90.
