So today is my first year anniversary with E60 530i so i decided to do a mod diary inspired by a forum member.
One year of modding and maintaing it, i met many great forumers and learnt lots of new stuff! Special shout out to ahyang, jason8822, redbeanbun and seanskye for always helping me out and working on my ride. Thanks ah love you all muackzzz.
Alright without further ado, here goes the pictures!! (Apologize for some of the bad quality images)
1. Car collection day Yay!! Let the mods begin~
