View Full Version : my E60

well after selling my vert, I needed a 4 door car so i got a 545 e60 and then went a bit mad modding it (done a few more mods since the pics i.e. M5 cluster and M5 gloss shadow line trim). My Iforged wheels also came but didnt fit over the BBK even though I told them the size etc etc so they have been sent back and they are re doing the fronts! hopefully they will be on in a month or so. I have also added the RPI scoop from trinity autosport

the old vert

the E60

http://forum.evotechnik.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=14487&stc=1&d=1236252089

the spec of the e60:-

ENGINE: 4.5-litre V8 N62 with AFE 550i cold air induction kit, Sprint Booster, B&W ChipTune remap, Eisenmann quad exhaust system. Engine cover painted red, Hamann oil filter cap and badge

CHASSIS: 9.5x20” (front) and 10.5x20” (rear) Hamann Anniversary 1 wheels shod in 255/30 and 295/25 ContiSportContact tyres respectively. Eibach lowering springs, H&R anti-roll bars. CA Automotive 400mm two-piece cross-drilled discs with 8-pot callipers and Pagid RS4-2pads up front, 545 rear discs drilled to match

EXTERIOR: M5 front and rear bumpers, wings with silver carbon side air vents and Hamman badge, M5 front inner arches, brake ducts and mirrors with silver carbon bottom half, Hamann M5-style front splitter and rear diffuser, side skirts, boot and roof spoiler, Hamann boot and bonnet badges, gloss black kidney grille, white angel eyes bulbs, HID fog light conversion (located behind mesh), Hella smoked rear lights, 8000k xenon bulbs all round

INTERIOR: Full M5 leather Individual Indianapolis interior including door cards, centre console and SMG steering wheel, Sport headlining, Hamann door sills, pedals, floor mats and steering wheel badge, SSDD Motorsport silver carbon fibre interior trim, including handbrake and steering wheel pieces, Professional Navigation


Did alot of retro fitting to this car i.e. the M5 seats the Proff Nav which all had ot be coded to the car nothing really is plug and play, so was a bit different to modding the E46's I have owned but if it was simple then everyone be doing it lol!

was a good project and great fun, the good thing is that when it comes to modding other peoples E60 I kind of know what to expect!

I know Raj has a e60 535d any other e60 owners on here

Cool Westside, if you use photobucket you can get your pics resized on there + there is a program that resizes them i think its Microsoft picture resizer !

I must have mistaken you for someone else, i thought you had a dropped brown 190 with a awesome stance on some Sick split rims !

That engine cover looks magnificent, at first i thought it was a superchaged block or an Alpina motor ! :cool:

You should make him crew, as at least he mods and goes to shows, seems barely any of the other so called crew do either these days.

Kav, long time no speak. used to catch up with you on the e36coupe.com years back. Love your new car, noticed this up for sale some months back, did you buy it modded or did you do all the hard work?

nick you know me always waxing.........if I dont get a 7 then there is a super charger out there for the 545 it bolts to the top of the engine, Trinity Autosport who I got my Iforged alloys through are selling it, the owner is having it fitted to his 545 so i'll have to wait and see, however not sure why they are saying the box may not be up to all the extra load which is strange!
