Hello, thanks for stopping by. These pages are under construction so please visit often. The following pages include some of the upgrades and modifications I've done to my car. I hope you find it interesting and helpful. There are quite a few before/after and pre-mod/post-mod comparison pictures for those of you who are considering an upgrade.

I'm sorry that I'm not the "step-by-step" kinda' guy. There are not a lot of mid-mod pictures. Let me know if you'd like details on any of the items. Also, if you would like larger versions of any picture, please let me know.

If you care to, please sign my guest book. Thanks!

Nice upgrades! I'm in the process in doing the same thing and could use your help. 98 528i, is a ground sent from switch to turn on the lights or by a 12v? I have a kit that can be used both ways but I need to know which way. Any would be apreciated: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=912271

Good job! I have a solution for low beam error if the system checking <8 ohms when the light is off (your way will turn on both dummy light and HID light). Email me at ircbreaker@dslextreme.com

First off I wanna say that BMW 7 cars are the most badass car around. I like the car and thanks for the xenon instructions I just put in a 10000k kit thanks to your pics. I got a tip for them headlights, it's a nasty upgrade without gettin the facelift (99-01)headlights or spending much money. email me if you are interested greekmeek@aol.com
