Nice stereo upgrade and those rims really improved the look.

You made that custom head unit yourself? That's pretty sick
.
So that head unit in it on its own also has ipod capabilities integrated into it? I think that would be a perfect solution to bypassing going to the stealership for a simple ipod integration. At least this way you get a custom audio setup . How much would that whole set up cost? Do I smell a possible group buy?![](https://5series.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif)
Those RM1's look
. Im sure once you slap on the complete mtech kit your car will sit a little lower. Contact member Praisethelowered for more info on capturing the best stance with stretched and poked wheels/ tires.
Whats next?

Yeah, it took awhile to get it to fit right, especially without my own garage to work in. The ipod integration was my main focus because everyone knows how much a little ipod cable costs from the dealer w/ parts, labor, and programming. This unit also allows me to do so much more w/ my audio system, including a b/u cam. As far as costs, it's a little hard to say just yet because I've done everything myself.

What a gorgeous transformation. The stock rims that came with the 525i in 04 I personally hate....the ugliest rims I have ever seen! Now it looks so mean with the drop and new rims
. Looking forward to hearing the final cost of the custom system you put in.
oh and welcome!
