thanks mate! In addition to the M5 mirrors, I also took your advice and am buying some AEs and Licence Plate LEDs. I have a week's holiday at home before we go to Sweden, so I need to find something to keep me occupied... 
The install of all of this will take half a day, so you may need to add a few more mods for your week off.

Your car, along with Patrick's, certainly inspired me with the M5 mirrors. A great mod, but still keeping it all OEM and with a decent re-sale value.
As for my trip to Sweden, first of all we'll go to Stockholm for a few days and then on to Gotland for just under a week

He could always drive across the bridge and show them to you in person!
It can't be that difficult to get a few of us together around the Copenhagen / Malm? area. But as you know Patrick, I've put enough effort into E60.NET Meets for 1 year, so if other members organise something and sign-up, I'll turn up!

Thanks. I'm really looking forward to those M5 mirrors, especially because I have toying with the idea of buying them ever since I joined here... 3 years ago! (So its not really what you would call an "impuls purchase" )

I actually posted something up in the "any Scandinavians here" post, but no-one replied It can't be that difficult to get a few of us together around the Copenhagen / Malm? area. But as you know Patrick, I've put enough effort into E60.NET Meets for 1 year, so if other members organise something and sign-up, I'll turn up!
