E39 exterior and interior trim change

[paultantk]

A container containing some UK goodies arrived in KL earlier this week... many things inside that are cheaper over there than here. Anyway, there were some BMW stuff in the container. Promptly and excitedly installed them.Original BMW High Gloss Shadowline window trim

I particularly like how even the chrome on the interior-side of the window is now high gloss black. Before this it was the regular chrome that's quite stained already, makes the car look very old when I look at it.Original BMW Aluminium look interior trim (not sprayed/painted/etc)

My automatic gearknob remains the blackish-bluish wood trim that I previously had for now, in 2 weeks time the rest of my manual conversion parts should have arrived. I've already bought illuminated M 5-speed gearknob for that.Once I can part with the blackish-blueish wood trim gearknob then that wood trim will go on sale.

Sure, you got my number right.

Domestic appliances are far far far cheaper in the UK, I bought coffee machines, toasters, ovens, for half price, and saved nearly RM10k in total.

Noticed the active sub is placed at the co-driver's foot well area. Better sound staging?
