I was also going to go with the aspherical mirrors until I decided to wait and get some m5 versions instead.

I also learned the mirror trick for blind spots but it really doesn't work that well in Chicago traffic I found out. When you're stuck in traffic and thinking of switching lanes, you wanna be able to see all the way down to make sure there's no cop or idiot speeding down as to not cut him off.

I had the aspherical setup on my previous e46 and I don't think I can live without it.

Thanks! I need to update my profile picture, I've grayed out my orange reflectors and put black 535i numbers as well. Here's with the gray reflectors.

Hey guys hope you all well. Has anyone ever had a terra Clean I got a e61 530d msport and was wondering if it's beneficial at all?

Installed my Cobb AP stage 1 aggressive and 3 gallons of e85. That really woke this car up. Going to install my bms Dci this weekend and order a fmic and chargepipe and a m5 bumper. I've had this car 10 days and loving it.

Turbo inlets are an excellent mod for the N54 engine and I would suggest pegging them next on your mod list if you are going to continue down this road, they are cheap but a pain to install, the added performance is well worth it though. An upgraded intercooler is right up there too. Of course making sure your preventative maintenance is up to date will help keep you and your N54 happy down the road.

Wrapped my third light/tail gate wing. Also wrapped my window pillars in carbon fiber looking vinyl. this weekend I'll do the driver's side...and eventually the roof.

I am debating to wrap the roof with black or this carbon fiber, what do you guys think?

Carbon Fiber Look! Your rear wing already wrapped in Carbon! So I would wrap the roof in Carbon!
