Finally this weekend got a chance to take some photos of my 525 S54 after installing the last piece of the puzzle which was the 6 and 4 pistons brakes on front and rear with 345mm two piece rotor all around that is sufficient enough to hold the beast. I thought you would enjoy the pics as much as I did taking them.
I rode in this car. I stared at this car. I was with Sia as he was jamming up the brakes saying "NONONONONONO!" as the twisty road suddenly turned into gravel, I love the shit out of this car.
Sia,
You've outdone yourself my friend. Absolutely stunning example! I can't wait to see and experience it...perhaps at 5erFest?

p.s.,
Where can I find a set of those driving lights with the yellow (French) optics? One of the lenses on my Euro valance is cracked and I wouldn't mine switching to these. Please feel free to drop me a PM so as not to hijack this thread. Thanks in advance...
I love the fact that you retained the badges and made the car the ultimate sleeper. That things got a little m30 up front, riiiiight?
BTW, which variant of the S54 is in there? Reading the wiki page shows about 8 different ones from '01-'08 (excluding the Wiesmann) which all seem to vary a little in power output.

M20, judging from the badges
Well the only reason I went with the M30 was because the 525i had the m30b25, if it's a 525e, then yes, an m20, but the front badge doesn't show either, so I assumed it to be an i.
Edit: Just went back to look at the OP's sig, it's states that it's a 525i so I think that deems it to have had an m30. What do I know though, I'm the biggest n00b around this joint. lol

Ah. In that case, you were right -- I stand corrected!
Thank you guys for your nice comments, greatly appreciated!!!
Here are some more pics as requested; I will try to get some more interior pictures this weekend.
