Lower mirror covers are next.
Then I will just give up and sell the E61.
This will never end...

CF Roundels, no.
But the Bimmian CF hand brake cover does look quite nice.

Sorry for not spending too much time here, but I'm still searching for the right V8. Not as easy as I had hoped; its either cheap 545i's with not quite the right specs (i.e. would need to be modded / retro-fitted afterwards) or 540i & 550i m-sports which are more than I want to spend on a car... I'm desperately trying to limit the "car value" price because of the crazy 180% Danish car import taxes
It is fun searching and "configuring" the car in my mind though As for the Bimmian CF hand brake, I think its a great choice. I have the Brushed Alluminium hand brake from Bimmian and really like the design and size. Its a bit chunkier and freshens up that otherwise dull area of the centre console.

ArneR: don't buy the "CF" shark fin.
It is half the size of the original, AND it does not work AFAIK. It is just a 48 Euro decoration!
Anyway, the Bimmian CF kidney grills arrived from the US and A today. I got a great deal; unused, brand new and still in the original wrapping.
I will get them installed soon!

So what's up guys?!
Do you all get your CF parts??
The whole V8 E60 search is more difficult than I expected; 2 deals fallen through so far... basically I am being offered very little for mine
So I might just keep mine for a while longer and lower it... especially after seeing the pics of Dave's car in the calendar!
(And to be honest, I really love the look of it since the 128s are back on it again )

My Ride: 2010 BMW 530i E61, alpine white, cream-beige interior, sports-auto-transmission and a lot more-
I will pick up my car on christmas'week, monday or tuesday.
I think in january I will order the CF-wrap and do my roof and kidney grills..
There's a CF-diffuser on Ebay germany which is very interesting for me, so I will add this to my brand new car in jan. or feb. Of course I will add CF roundels for the front/back/rims/steering wheel immediately
I am looking very tensly forward to my new car. I dream every night of it !
They told me yesterday there's a delay of one week, I should've pick it up next week..now I have to wait for another week, these basterds..
