My Ride: 2005 BMW 530d M-Sport TouringExterior: Titansilber Metallic, M5 mirrors, ACS rear roof spoiler, BMW Carbon Fiber rear diffuser, Adaptive Xenon headlights, AngeliBright v.3 Angel Eyes, F1 Autohaus Euphoria 6000K LED license plate lightsInterior: Black

Nice mods.

M-Tech is a must. Lower it with KW coilovers?

There is another E61 owner in Salo that has done this. He also has M5 mirrors and some other nice mods.

We should probably arrange a local meet! JaU from Uusikaupunki could be convinced to join as well!

We could all go to Autokeskus in Raisio and laugh at the new 5er GT...

I did that already. The sales guy didn't protest....

But he said - with some surprise - that they already sold 20 (!) of them. Apparently with the current climate noone wants to be seen in a 7 series so they buy a GT instead.

Sounds good

Are you using 3M CF-vinyl or some other vinyl and coilovers or springs and where are you ordering M-package?

Nice mods.

I also vote for KW and M-Tech (and I'm also still without them

) Salesafter ain't answering too fast...

After short consideration, I've left H&R springs into garage and now I'm searching for KW Street Comfort.

I surely could visit Autokeskus, but that new 5er GT

. Earlier they had a road show in Rauma
and I visited there. Final solution was that I will stick in my old E61 (or change it into a 535d with M-Tech

)

Btw...E61 LCI rear lights bought

and CF pedals

(maybe those pedals are too much...)

Yes that is the suff I'm using.

To be honest I was thinking of doing the lowering with H&R springs.. Would you consider selling??

The M-package, I'm perhaps buying through this one guy on finnish BMW-forum..

Not yet..and all the other parts are lying on the floor

BMW is also selling retrofit cabels for LCI, but is it so that Bruce's doesn't need programming
and OEM needs?

Nice. Please feel free to PM me with your thoughts of the price. We have a summer house on Haavainen island at Lokalahti, so the swap between money and springs could be done nicely.

Yep, allthough I didn't get it through buksin-1 after all. There was one unused set on sale on the BTCF forum, I got it for 900€. The set is currently at a painter waiting to get some Orient Blau on it.

I wish it was spring allready to get it installed...
