My Ride: '04 525i 6sp Step^silbergrau^MTech aero^M6 19inch forged^Bilstein B12
Greetings!!!Been visiting the forum for quite some time.. a very very informative and fun forum,especially as it applies to the current 5.
I hail from a small country in south east asia,where we have Thailand to the north and Singapore to the south.that should give u a rough idea of where I am.I've had my e60 525i for almost a year now,have done some minor changes to the car..nothing serious yet though.So far,I've installed an M-Tech aerokit,M6 forged 19inch alloys and also Bilstein's B12 tuning kit.Sadly,that's as far as i've got thus far.Oh yeah,in case u guys are curious,yes,my house is just next to the Sepang F1 circuit.
There are so many unanswered questions in my mind right now,I hope the forum can shed some light on at least some of them.It's been great so far,following the forum from the outside,now I hope I can participate more.
Also,this is not my first BMW..my first car was an E30 325i,followed by an E36 M3,then an E46 328i.This e60 however,is my first 5.
Hope to have a good time here..

Minor changes? 
I think you have a good start there. Post some pics when you get a chance.
Welcome to the forums! Enjoy!

Just to start off,I'd love to install a supercharger..the ESS twinscrew setup caught my fancy when it was launched recently.It'll be perfect for my M54B25,just the sort of thing the car needs cuz i think the 525i is a little down in the 'up-n-go' department.Together with the increase in power,I'd also like to beef up the brakes,with a full M5 setup if possible.I don't really fancy big colourful calipers to show off.Well,we can dream can't we??
Thanx for the warm welcome..I will indeed enjoy the forum.

Guys,thanx for the warm welcomes.. I see that most of u already have tonnes of stuffs on your cars.Oh yeah,a lot of Asians out there too huh?? Cool.. I still remember my days studying overseas,though i didn't get a car of my own cuz the costs were too high in Scotland,plus I couldn't afford a car anyways
Again,thanx for the warm welcomes..
