#1: CD's BMW 530d Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Thu Jun 09, 2011 2:10 am ---- Spent a few hours last night giving it a good clean & having a play about with my work camera.
Probably shouldn't have played with the camera as most are overexposed
But here are a few good ones.
Only had time to polish the bonnet and passenger side wing.
It's a very dark blue, not black.
Plans are:
New OEM alloy wheels.
OEM xenon headlights.
Remap
Polish the rest of the car.
Upgrade the speakers.

Decided against rear lights.
I like the originals.
Just sourcing some headlights for less than £500 is going to be difficult.

Would also look for the front bumper splitter that the M-Sport has

If it is a auto, what's the changes like under normal driving and sporty driving? Do you know what kind of gearbox they put in? If it's a manual... Nice car, I have a 520d sitting outside

It's the auto.
In normal mode it shifts up at 4k rpm when giving it some.
Shifts are quick and very smooth.
4.5k rpm when in sport mode and it usually sits one gear lower for normal driving. Shifts slightly quicker in DS.
