BMW E60 525d Daily

[Marc C]

Suppose I need a thread for this thing.

Got this 525d as a swap for a Merc I had before. Do me as a daily so had planned to leave it as is but it’s me so that won’t happen

Few pics of when I got the car:

Few small bits and pieces done:

Metros (still don’t understand the hate for them on here)

Interior lights and number plates upgraded to LED

Angel eyes upgraded to LED

Then gave her a good clean with @Big Pimp finest

Suppose I’ll keep this updated with the mods I said I wouldn’t do to my daily

Tidy mate! Health to drive.

Very nice, have one myself and can’t look past them for a daily now.

 

[Big Pimp]

Those spider alloys look superb and suit the car so much. The LED upgrades make such a difference and really freshen her up.
Health to enjoy

Thanks sir, something else to tinker with

Honestly, it’s not a car I would have ever thought of getting or even looking at but I grabbed it while it was available and definitely don’t regret it so far!

Cheers bud, it’s the wee things like that make a difference I think. Set of coils and wheels spaced a bit and she’ll be sitting pretty!


Was also out doing some deliveries of supplies round the town today and couldn’t resist the iconic pic - you aren’t really from Carrick if you don’t have a picture of the car here

Sick whip bro, my neighbour has one identical

Some of our more eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed the front passenger wheel was a spare and not a spider as it needed a tyre.

Glad to get it back on today!

Late night essential journey to lift some essential cash to fund another ‘essential’ purchase tomorrow

These still look so good

 

[Blackie]

These still look so good

Agreed!

They definitely look fresher than they are. Looks far newer than 05

Still loving driving this thing! Got into the E46 Touring the other day and it felt minuscule in comparison

I love my e60 but I miss the e46, thought it was a more sporty drive. The e60 is a pure wafter.
Just a pity the e46 was a rust bucket
