Anyone have any suggestions on Modifications?

Hey guys, I'm planning to conduct a in-depth replacement of parts of my car such as, rims, tires, aerodynamic kits, engine, and etc. If anyone has a list of the popular mods to hook up my 535xi, please post the list (and pictures if available)

The wheels, interior and exterior parts shouldnt be a problem. But engine? Not a chance.

The question has got to be why. With all the electonics we have, it will be close to impossible. On the light side, the twin turboed M5 would be out by the time you are done with your car

Since you have the N54, I suggest the JB3 software upgrade we carry. This is a plug and and play ECU tune that will dramatically improve the power and allow you to select from a variety of maps depending on other modifications you have on the car.

Check on 5Series.net. There are a lot of 535 owners (and Xi owners) on there that mod their cars and can give you some suggestions on what would work. Xi cars have unique offsets that require different types of wheels than on the regular RWD cars.
