My Ride: 2004 525i
Default New 525i owner, Virginia Beach

Just got a 2004 silver 525i with just under 95k on the clock. Whoever owned it before me loved the car, as it still looks and drives like new. I'm hoping to have this car for a long time, and looking forward to learning a lot here!

I'm considering doing the sport button modification, and possibly adding an aux input. What are some other mods that folks have been happy with? Thanks!

Congratulations Tim and . I just did the Sport Mode DIY and I'm glad I did. Thanks to this forum, I never run out of things to do to my 04 545i.

Awesome, thanks! Did you notice any difference apart from what you get with DS?

So far I've changed the rear window trim, cleaned the engine bay, replaced the roundel, reconditioned the headlight, and ordered some LED angel eyes (10w from ebay). Hopefully the lights look decent. Anyone have any issues or problems with installing them?
