Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
I'm not a fan of the white gauge faces with silver letterings, looks too out of place on an E53 IMO, I am a bigger fan of the gray/silver with white lettering faces that look more like 4.8is/m5 cluster.

go to whitegauges.net you can get many different colors there, just look up e39 gauge faces, they are cheaper than bimmian too! and for gauge rings they sell chrome or titan silver rings for 25 bucks all day on ebay, bimmian is way overpriced for those.

dont forget to sharpie the needles red!


Have you thought of Hoen Xenonmatch fog light bulbs? You could always go HID but I never was a fan of HID fogs.

the watts dont matter for the fog light for example i got this works perfect but you have to turn of cold monitoring so they dont flicker

2 x Super White H11 18 SMD 5050 LED Driving Fog Lights | eBay

there is some that come with like error cancelers i never tried them so i dont know if it will cancel the flicker even if you dont have a scanner/gt1

You wont have error codes they will just flicker at the start and cause short bulb lifespan

You dont know anyone with a scanner or a gta1/inpa?
