Just thought I’d say hello! I’ve just joined this forum today.

I have a 2003 530i SE Auto which got some nice factory options from new like leather memory seats, AFL, nav and so on.

Since getting it in 2003 I’ve replaced the entire interior with a black M5 interior along with the head cloth and pillar trims etc. I’ve also retrofitted a big screen CCC, M-Sport front bumper, enabled seat heating, G30 discs and calipers on the front and probably a few other bits here and there.

I wasn’t keen on the car when I got it but after some time and after refreshing various components it’s grown on me and my journey continues. I’ve always had a keen interest in retrofitting original options to whatever car I happen to have and I’ve a fair bit of experience in programming or coding as well, albeit it mostly with VAG cars. The experience I’ve gained from that does lend itself to BMW though.

Anyway, I hope to be able to offer some advice at some stage and of course I’ll be looking for some too.

Haha! That was quite a typo! I meant 2018!

As for the last couple of years I have been battling 3 kids, a mortgage and self employment. Sadly the latter went bad because of our good friend Covid.
