Iceland is beautiful, lucky!

[Denton]

Wow, some nice goodies on/in that car. :)

[repenttokyo]

congratulations, nice car :)

[BuckNaked]

Check the sport steering wheel and seats! Very nice option package on a 525.
Iceland, huh? Do you know Bjork? hehe, just kidding, though I do love her!
Have fun with the car, and keep us posted on your adventures with it!

[Axel Jóhann]

Thx guy's. Yeah, the seats, i love them and the steering wheel, and it has a sunroof too, but there is nothing electric except the door mirrors. I'm kinda happy with that, less to go wrong! :D

Looks good! I also noticed the M front bumper... Is it an M5 replica?

"where large fuzzy dice still hang proudly, like testicles from rearview mirrors..."

[Ross]

You'll probably want to trade off that steering wheel for my safe airbag equipped model.

[Macv]

I thought the M-sport wheel had the little M-badge on it. At least the wheel from my 3 does.

Looks like a great score!

[Axel Jóhann]

Nah, i think i'll keep it. :) It's really comfortable.

[Axel Jóhann]

Some more pic's if anyone's interested, i update this regulary. :p

These light's i'll take out of the car and buy smoked.

Then when im gonna let my friend paint my new doors that are not dented and fix the front bumper and all small dents on the car, i also got my new red/white taillight's and clear indicator light's for the front.


But this is how the car looks today.

Ah, no! It was all good until you started messing around with it.

Don't you dare do clears, and surely not those ricey, nasty angel eyes. E39s only, and they were only there to tie it back to the true quad-headlamp look.

[LunatiC]

Not a fan of the angel eyes, but I don't see what's wrong with putting clear blinkers on. Updates the car a little, and looks pretty good especially with a narrow grille (everyone should do something to make that narrow grille look almost as good as a wide one ;) )

Clears make a car look sterile. Cars need contrast, and the ambers give it that.

It's a misguided bandwagon trend, clears.

[John in CT]

How about petrol prices. Sure looks like a nice E34

Well, that's your opinion. I think they look great. Many others too, that's why it's a popular upgrade.

Besides, clears give a lot of contrast -- dark blue with clear blinkers. On anything but white, clears give almost as much contrast as ambers anyway.

[Axel Jóhann]

No, the angel eyes are fugly, when i had the car they where already in, i dont like them, and the front headlights have crack's in them so i'll replace them with oem or smoked, not sure yet, but i think the clear blinkers and taillights will be quite nice.

The petrol price here in Iceland are pretty high, one liter of 95 okt fuel costs 115 Icelandic kronas, that's about 1,30 euro.

I'm not a fan of amber.
