Stevo 1 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 Hey all After a stint in Australia and the last 18 months in an Audi I'm back to BMW - 07 550i MSport. Import but the Nav has been changed over to NZ. Had it tinted on the weekend, once I've sold the Audi (see FS section) I'll be getting an AC Schnitzer kit and style 128 wheels for it. Few other things to do (will need some help/parts for some of them when the time comes) - swap the minidisc player for a MP3 CD - get Freeview working on the TV, possibly look at getting the TV to keep going while the car is moving - auxillary cable in the front - hardwired radar Keen to come to some meets again, been a while since I've been to one. Cheers Steve 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted May 14, 2014 Nice. Wish my E60 was black. I have the AC spoilers on mine. Look great. I reckon some Euro length plates would make it look great too. Keep the stock GUN plate and convert it to Euro. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah looking at getting some Europlates when I get the Schnitzer kit, dont really want to put holes in the current bumper as I'll be looking to sell the MSport kit when the time comes.

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted May 15, 2014 I think mine is just double sided tape holding them on. haha. Are those seats the comfort ones? I have the sports seats. But sadly they are not heated. The Mrs really wanted heated seats but it was slim pickings for E60 Diesel Msports. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted May 15, 2014 Is it just me or are the E60s getting better looking with age? Especially in Motorsport form. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted May 15, 2014 Very nice! An E60 MSport is next on my wish list. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted 45 Report post Posted May 15, 2014 Is it just me or are the E60s getting better looking with age? Especially in Motorsport form. Agree. My next vehicle will likely be a V8 E60 msport Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted May 15, 2014 Yeah I love the E60 now. Honestly I did not like them when they first came out. Most didn't. They do come in some horrible color combos though. And there are some really povo spec'd ones floating around. Like I bet if there was the option to pick a HQ Brown with Hillman Green leather, someone would have picked it. My car is from the south. Greymouth. Very surprised it didn't have the heated seats. I don't care about them but the Mrs who is like a little Ice Queen really wants them.

Stevo 1 Report post Posted May 16, 2014 Think this has sport seats, seams to adjust practically every way and the side bolsters come in handy for the corners. And the heated seats are great at 5.30am! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
