I know it looks weird but I really love the words "Slide to unlock"
As it's my first year anniversary with My E60 today, I decided to do a mod diary for fun as well as to share with others the love process between us.
***Caution***
***I am not a good photographer neither am I good with IT. Just wanna try out a Mod diary so please do not laugh at me and I hope it doesn't irritate nor annoy those brothers who are professionals and have really nice mod journeys written.***
It's been a crazy year of modding and it's great to make so many buddies while modifying my ride. Ever heard from many people saying that E60 is past history and I should just get a F10 or E250 instead but my personal preference is to get a car that I like and mod it all the way I want, (Was inspired by a white yam5 in fact) thus I decided to get a E60 and beef it up, perhaps will sell it off once I am sick of it (hopefully not)
First of all.... It's time to say good bye to my ex Love (Lexus GS300 MR)
Served me well for great 3 years....
1) First up, I went to TOP93 to find our good brother Ah Yang...Had a tough time choosing between taiwan T108 vs VMR 710..Eventually decided to get the T108...

2) Went to tint my car (forgotten to take picture)
3) Went to do up my license plate into the 3D effect kind (no pictures too)
4) Changed my car mat as well as get a boot mat...
5) Changed my Angel eye to the white ones (something that I have always like about BMW)
6) Was not around when I installed my M5 bodykit and ACS roof lip thus here is the only photo I had. My Blacky Sunny with plaster all over...
7) Installed a replica M5 side mirror with auto folding and puddle light...

8) Decided to install the M5 side fender grille...
9) Changed my side marker to Chrome lining and smoked LED one....
10) Always wanted to do up quad exhaust but I decided to try out the looks by changing into quad tips first...
11) Took out the stock tail lights to replace replica LED tail light instead...
12) Couldn't hold out anymore and eventually decided to get a Remus Quads Exhaust...
I have never ever thought of getting a aftermarket exhaust but eventually gave in and decided to make my quads alive. Really love the sound of it! Roar!!!
13) Now it's time to lower the ride. Bought a set of Eibach springs and wanted to pair it up with Koni FSD but decided to go for a coilover instead (end up having to sell the springs away). First time trying out a coilover and the result is sweeter handling and stability (at least that's what I felt), helps alot in cornering.
14) Been trying to psycho myself to accept the wooden trimmings inside the car but I couldn't hold out again... sigh...
So stripping begins!!!
Out you go!!!
Welcoming the new trims! (decided to go for gun metal grey)
Fitted nicely...Heee...Happiness...Love the way it blends with my brown and black interior...
Decided to go for a M5 conversion thus...
15) M5 Steering wheel with paddle shifter (totally love the grip of the steering...You gotta Feel it to understand it)
16) M5 gear knob (this item is really a must have and it made shifting gears so much easier... Sweet...)
17) M5 gear knob console...
Made all the buttons come alive (lights only, not all the functions)
Love the fact that one push on the "power" button converts the gear into speed mode and ready to shift!!!
(the fact is....... I seldom use it though...too lazy to use the paddle shift... I am sadly a slave to aesthetic mods...Haha)
The lovely side view...
Front view...
The ///M virus is not over yet...
18) Decided to go for a set of ///M aluminum pedals (love the look as well... As mentioned, slave to aesthetics... Sigh)
Here's a look of the done up interiors!!!
19) Not to forget... the ///M door sills...
20) Bought a pair of Gloss black kidney grilles...
21) The all time favorite... ///M tri colour *run faster* stripes...All thanks to buddy Morganlee3377 a.k.a LQY
I was actually the first guinea pig... turns out to be a masterpiece...Sweet...
22) Went for some crazy HID both the head light and the fogs (which i gave to another buddy here eventually)
23) Changed the rear license plate light to the crazy LED kind...
24) FREE MA license plate holder!!!
25) Got myself an AFE CAI open pod air filter...
(the roar together with the Remus Quad exhaust spells ROAR!!!... still an E60 though...)
26) Yep and the MUST DO BMS powerbox...
Here's a spot the difference game...
Front view...
Side view 1...
Side view 2...
Rear view...
Random shots at unique locations...
Not to forget about supporting Munich Automobiles (thanks for the interesting National Day experience...)
Decided to put a stop to Modding........

[Part 2:
27) Decided to go for the real thing thus I finally bought my original M5 mirror with auto dimming function...
Interesting to see how they do the wiring...
Super love the auto dimming...
Decided to sell off my replica LED tailight and maintain the pre face lift look... But could not stand the look after a day thus Here's another mod!!!
28) Original LED tail light...
Stripping it off...
Here it is... Heee... Didn't know so much about E60 last time thus regretted buying the wrong version... Now I can sleep well... haha...
29) Immediately went to install a protective film over my beloved tail lights and headlights...
30) Decided to de-chrome the window sills (whatever u call it)... Here's a side view of the blacky sunny...
Always love how the M5 mirror look when it's folded up...
Front view... Blacky says Hi...

totally love the look and the color...
time for new shoes? .....
32) 20" matt black rims... paired with yokohama advan sport rubber lubber...
Went for very aggressive offset... tyre wears out much much faster (sigh)...

34) time for grooming? Love Meguiar's body lotion for my car...
