My Ride: E61 525D 2005
Hello proud owners of an E60/61,
I just bought an E61 03/2005 525d. Unfortunately there are not many (I even believe none) options on my ride. Reading through the forums gave me already a lot of idea's. I think my first upgrade must be the Angel Eyes (unfortunately Halogen but I believe I can also get a good result with Halogen lights).
For now I am still living in The Netherlands with my wife and 2 children however within three years moving to the other side of the ocean. When the time is there I'll have to find out if I will ship my car or buy a new US model.
Here are some pic's of my car (not the best pic's but they'll do for now).
