As I said yesterday, today I installed the full chrome grills, changed my stock 4300k xenons to 6000k, add xenons to my high beam and fogs. I also changed the original i-drive knob with a lci i-drive knob

E60 530d-19188.jpgBefore (stock grills)
E60 530d-sdc10008.jpg After (Full Chrome Grills - High Beam/low beam/fog Xenons installed)
E60 530d-sdc10003.jpg Before (Full chrome installed - starting work on xenons)
E60 530d-19191.jpg Before (original i-drive knob)
E60 530d-sdc10004.jpg After (lci i-drive knob)

That's about it for today, waiting on the M kit to arrive I'll keep you posted.

Just a quick question:

I want to upgrade my 18' rims to 19', I like 2 models but can't decide which one to buy, which one do you like more ??

As a little update: the M kit just cam in today aswell as the LCI taillights the car is going in the shop Monday morning.

So the rims:

Style 128 or style 172 which one do you like more?

E60 530d-59510.jpg Style 128

E60 530d-da5d_1.jpg Style 172

Thanks guys!

Wow, great mods coming ! Congratulations!
So you changed your license plate too. Import car?

From those two I would absolutely take the 128's !
