Yup, it's true!

The CAI alone is $500 and then you have to do a software flash for an additional $500. Now this is just Dinan. You can find cheaper stuff from other manuf.

Thanx...no clears in the front cuz I'm getting the Angel Eyes. I thought about painting the moldings but every body shop is trying to rape me so I don't think I'll do it, but who know

Cool...

Angel eyes? Is that what they call the new 2001+ (?) 5 series headlights with the rings (halos? ) So you can retrofit those to older 5 series?

Tell me if I'm totally off here...hehe

The clears for the 5 series are just the cornors and front plastic....angel eyes will still have yellow cornors, and are just the center part under the plastic......It doesn't replace the cornors so you will still need them unless all 2001 come in clears witch I dought.

alot of European car parts can retrofit. My friend is getting 2002 bi-xenon headlamps for his 1999 ML320. They fit.

I think most Mercedes and BMW parts can retrofit. At least the lights, mirrors, etc. Unless they're major minor change parts like how the 2000 E-class gets even more slanted headlights.

I saw a white BMW 530I today and it looked amazing!

It didn't look like the one in the link above, it looked much better and it didn't seem to have any mods done either. I don't know if it was just a newer model or maybe the white color made it look good?

I was just amazed, but I am as amazed with my gs4 also so I guess its fine, for some reason though the BMW looked more classy.

Thats because BMW's ARE more classy....they just dont have the WOW that Lexus has......ex. The new kit on my GS's Looks so fuking hot, it's unbelievable....but with my 2001 325i...no matter how much stuff I do to it, it will never really stand out like the Lex....but has a very classy look....
