My Ride: 2006 530xi, 6 speeds manual, Mystic Blue, HID, black interior, premium package, NAV, Bluetooth, heated front seats, Sport steering wheel retrofit, electric shade rear, tinted 35%
Mods: illuminated shifter (innovativcar-tech.de), AC Schnitzer front lip, trunk lip, LED interior & angel eyes MTEC V2.1& RDash License Plate lamps & HID fogs(member brabusw209amg), multifunctional front headrests retrofit (schmiedmann.com)
I have an 1998 528i and for about a month I replaced my second car (an Audi 90) with an awesome 2006 530xi and what a difference between this one and anything else I had a chance to drive?
In my research to educate myself about the car, I noticed the veterans from this forum with their very helpful write-ups and I thank you for that
Although I'm eager to find more about the iDrive tricks (totally love the concept), the "standard mods many of you have (lowered suspension, 19"-20" wheels, side skirts,?etc.) I will try to behave and not ask stupid questions before I made sure they are not already answered but if I do, please don't booo me
I posted few pics in my only album, no mods so far except the illuminated shifter but looking forward to the day when I can get a chance to be in the calendar?
