Hi all,
Just regd 5 mins ago.
I recently ordered a carbon black with black dakota leather & bluetooth prep 520d msport which I cant wait to get (partially as it means I get rid of the damn toyota avensis hire car I am forced to drive right now).
Last car was an e34 m5 (3.8) which I absolutely adored-it was one of the best condition ones I have seen & certainly the best e34 i ever owned (I think that was no 6) but due to blowing a piston @ "enthusiastic" speeds I have now decided to go down the sensible route & lease a 520d which will save me money every month compared to high & constant maintenance & high fuel costs on the m5.
I have a few bits in mind for the 520d but whatever I do has to be easily reversible/undetectable-I will have a remap & have been told I can get it to 205bhp but think maybe thats a bit optimistic as alpina only managed to tune it to 190.
I need some kind of exhaust trim as the std ones a bit naff looking & wonder if anyone can suggest something ?(also toying with the idea of the m5 rear bumper & quad exhausts)
I didnt want the high sat nav & other media add ons-does anyone know of any cheaper options which are compatible ?
Many thanks
Paul

Welcome, Paul.
If you can, get the m5 full body w/ aftermarket exhaust (quad). That would be sweet.
I plan to add the m-package body (not m5) w/ super sprint or eisenmann (sp?) quad exhaust setup.
I dont know if you want your rims bigger, to me 18" style 124 rims look hot!!

welcome. as for quad exhausts, there's RDSport, eisenmann (dummy at the right), hamann, and ive seen some with magnaflow. there may be some other options as well. enjoy the forums.
