Sup folks.. Although I'm not a new owner, I'm still new to the forums. I have had the car for a year now and have been lurkin around here since. I just had some mods done and I thought it was time to get it out there for you guys to see.


my first, 2004 bmw 525i(great day)



Had a buddy with some spare m6's



M6's stock height, tint



I work with audio for a living, so I figured this would be a challenge. My system is still a work in progress, but so far I've rewired the factory speakers to my new head unit and currently have jl hd750/1 pushing 10" jl w7 w/ H.O. ported box(not shown). Also, the idrive is still fully operational.


Custom fiberglass bezel w/ Pioneer avh-p3200dvd


Pioneer avh-p4200dvd. The bezel is still not complete, but I'm too busy to finish it up. I was thinking about making a mold if there's a market for it


custom iphone 4 dock. fun little project, first time plastic molding. (never use it)



Maya rm1s



Dropped on h&r race(not low enough), stock shocks. After hearing all the stories about ride quality, I stilled pulled the trigger. Surprisingly, my ride quality is still awesome.



Overall I'm happy with the set up, but I'm running stretched tires and the stance isn't low enough for me to use spacers. I plan on working on a complete remotestart two-way alarm system soon as well, so I will let you guys know how it goes.

 

Looks great!

 

i like your new head unit! car looks great!

 

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?

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?

 

I love it - the head unit is my favorite aside from the drop. Where did you stuff the stock radio?

Yes, there is a market for a double-din bezel for these cars. I spent a lot getting nav, sirius and iPod in my car - could have saved $$ if I had this option.

 

looks great...... I'd say ditch the chrome trim along the windows but it actually looks good with teh wheels/AW .. great custom work as well.

 

Yeap those rims do look good.. I guess those are 20's ?

 

welcome and congrads! White my fav color.. although I am partial

 

Are those 20"s? they look badass too bad you can't run them 20's on an xi

 

Looks wicked!! Glad you like the H&R race springs. I pick my car up tonight with these fitted. (I do already have Koni sport shocks).
