You always need to be careful when modding an old car, because it starts to look wrong real quick. But I think this was done tastefully, my only complaint would be the ride hight; I think it should be a little higher, just ever so slightly, so that it fits the arches better
Personally I try and keep mine as stock as possible, but safety related items can/should be upgraded; you have done well ;-)
Hey Ben, I think the car looks really neat. The question I have is what impact did the new lighting have? I have a 1996 528i and the lighting is shocking! I just wondered if new OEM lights were the solution to restoring comfort to night driving?
So the new lights helped a lot with night visibility, buy sadly needed a rebuild a year later. Currently, the stock lights which o have rebuilt and added new bulbs to are doing a reasonable job.

Improved it! Now all that’s left is some tuning...
You did it right! Some people just throw a bunch mods on their cars, you drove it, and you felt what the car needed. Looks great.
Cheers Dave!
That looks really good
Cheers Ben!
As Dave has said above some people take it too far. This looks pretty stock from a distance until you take a closer look
