    No, in Germany we must have on the front Bumper the licence number.

    Really unique! But what about your front is "US-style?" I know that M-Tech (aka M5) front and rear bumpers were an option on the 530 outside of the US, but we weren't the only country to get the stock bumper that's on your car now.

    Ahhh, okay, you answered my question. US-style in that you removed your front license plate?

    There are some states that don't require a front plate in the US.

    It is 50/20mm lower. It is disparate, some one like it with 50/50mm an other with 60/20 or 50/30mm.

    I'd love to have a euro plate in the front instead of a busted up NY plate.

    The US licence Number is to small for this or not?

    Hey Emmanouil, what is the aftermarket application availability such as Forced Air Injection(Kompressor) for the Bimmer's in Germany? Is it TUV friendly? I lived in Cuxhaven for 19 years but have been away too long from the Heimatland.

    Hi,
    the most people take (kompressors) from ASA.

    One 530i goes to Kompessortec an he has no problems with the Tüv.
    For BMW is G Power a good address (they work with ASA)
    Cuxhaven is an nice town, i lived two years there

    Now it´s done, the E39 M5 Shift knob with light.
    Put the black cover from my old knob (must milled) on it and a new original BMW 5 shift emblem.
    The pic is not the best

    Wow great car! Thanks for sharing pictures.
    Rules to live by:
    - Fast, reliable, cheap. You can only have two.
    - Do it right, or do it twice.
    - BMW: Just because you can afford to buy one, that doesn't mean you can afford to own one.

    are you saying the car can do 164 mph? Not bad. What about a kompressor? Are you going to go F.I
