I am glad you are enjoying your new ride. I am going to tell you that once you change one item the urge to start modding has just begun. Your wife may end up and kick you out of the house

thanks man like that color alot too...any mods on that thing? turbo swap?

[spdy330]

Mike you must have been inhaling nitrous if you want to put that on a 528i. Momma is not going to let you do that

thanks we love this thing great car...more than likley just gonna do cold air kit on it thats about it..not too much into appearance mods but i really like the carbon fiber interior of the M5 alot that would look would look sharp

[spdy330]

Mike,


You can get your interior trim wrapped in carbon fiber material that will similate the carbon fiber dash kit. Much cheaper than buying new pieces and when it comes time to sell the car you can just get it removed.


I would recommend my friend Long Tran at LTBMW to do this. He is located in El Monte.
