Hi, I'd like to present my '04 525d. I have it now for about 4 months. I bougth it completely stock.

It has quite a few options of wich the most relevant are:
-Beige leather
-Navi Professional
-Telephone Professional
-Seat heating
-PDC
-Xenon
-Adaptive headlights
-Dimming Mirrors (in and out)
-Folding Mirrors
-Cup Holders.
-...

The mods I've done so far are:
-H&R springs -4cm front + adjustment air suspension rear
-RH AK Ph?nix 8,5x19 + 9,5x19
-Toyo T1R Proxes 225/35/19 & 255/30/19
-Full M-tech bodykit
-CF Logo's
-Blacked out kindneys
-Shadowline
-Smoked taillights

Planned mods:
-CF-Splitters (have them, need to put them on...)
-MP3 activation
-Dension GW500
-DLS Ultimate A7 5-channel amp (have it, is collecting dust right now.. )
-Audio system X--ION 200 BMW front speakers
-Hertz EBX 250 B Subwoofer (have it, using it as night stand in guest room at the moment.. )
-Audison Bit One Processor

Here are some pictures of the car. First one is when I bought it, the others are how it looks now.

That looks awesome! Great pics too

I love the rear of the car with the titanium paint, black diffuser and smoked tail lights. That's a very purposeful but still classy look.

What about some rear window tint as a future mod?

Thanks guys!

I've been thinking about a window tint but personaly I'm not a fan of tinting only the rear windows. I would like to tint all the windows except for the front windshield but in Belgium it's illegal to tint the front side windows. So that's why I'm probably not gonna tint any of the windows.

How did you smoke the taillights? Are they Hella units or did you have them sprayed / film applied?
