Skyscraper grey metallic 530d from Germany

Klutten · 10-30-2022, 03:12 PM

Hi everybody.

The first 1.000 km were done with my new G31 530d. Amazing car and in comparsion to my old E61 535d its like from another world.

First picture is the old one vs. the new one.

Mods to come:
- Winter tires on 20" OEM wheels
- H&R springs
- Spacers 11mm front / 15mm back
- Change the colour of the diffusor to black
- M5 mirror caps

...more to come

Skyscraper grey really looks good.

What did you use to fix your number plates - very clean.

Very nice

How’s the ride now & does yours have adaptive suspension? Am considering putting a set of Schnitzer springs on mine but don’t want the ride to be to choppy & harsh.

Wow looks fantastic! We never get the good stuff here in the US. Enjoy in great health!
