After having driven a 530d (E39) for a couple of years I switched to a 320d touring (E46) and although it's a great car I missed my 530d. So after a long search I finally found my new car. It's a 530d touring in "titangrau" with all the options I had on my "must have" and "like to have" list including navi professional, panoramic sunroof,comfort seats and HUD. I bought the car in Germany and I will drive it to Holland next week, so I have to be patient for another 14 day's until all formalities are done (including paying 8000-9000 euros taxes 
)
First mod that's already ordered is a set of LM replica's in 19 inch, and yes I know, original is better but way out of budget for me. I also liked the look of the 172m's but my wife doesn't.
Next mod will be M-tech bumpers.

Thanks to all.
It's not a mod-virgin anymore, the first one has been done (new wheels),I have also changed the indicator bulbs for Osram diadem. Next mod within 2 weeks.
Pic's:
And some newbie E60/61 questions:
1.why does my DVD-player from the navi-prof not play normal DVD's and is there a way to make it possible ?
2.why does the CD-player and changer not play MP3's and is there a solution ?
