they're just stock facelift sport alloys afaik, not sure if the colour was an option or the previous owner got them refurbished in this gun metal gray! they do look pretty good on the black car.
 
All I need to do now is find a card for the sat nav, if any of you guys have any idea were I could get one from cheap, please feel free to let me know.

Looks very nice, quite like the wheels too and I'm not usually fan of them that dark.

Does yours have the AUX input as standard? Fairly(ish) straightforward to add if not, did it on mine and although it was a daunting task once you've taken all the trim off and the stereo out, it went okay and works well.

Also recommend changing the crap interior bulbs to LEDs, makes such a difference to how the interior feels, plus you can see what you're doing. I changed my sidelights to LED at the same time so they match the white Xenons.

Do you know about being able to open/close all the windows from the remote?

no it did not have the aux input, it's early 2007(jan).

I did add the aux input cable but the audio quality compared to CD is ridiculously bad! might be the cable though, which cable did you buy? I got this -;

http://www.amazon.co.uk/PBELE-3-5mm...UTF8&qid=1447261857&sr=8-1&keywords=mazda+aux

and while it works, the bass is low, the audio is just "empty/cold" there's no warmth tho it at all.

I was thinking about it! interior LED's are a bit too dim for my liking, was it hard to do? what type of LED's do you need for the interior?

yeah, learned that by accident haha, was walking away from the car and pressed something on the keyfob only to see all windows go down! :o

Aux cable I used was this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006FFCONA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00

Can't imagine there'd be a huge difference though? Might be your player, depending on what you're using. I've certainly noticed no real issues with mine.

I used two of these for the two front interior lights:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-6-SMD...UPER-BRIGHT-/370867129035?hash=item5659674acb

And one of these for the rear centre light:
http://www.dx.com/p/festoon-31mm-3w...g-car-reading-lamp-dome-bulb-12v-2-pcs-235820

Makes the car feel a lot more modern and fresh inside, I'm really happy with them. You can use the second Festoon bulb in the boot too, if you bend the metal clip that holds the bulb a bit.

My sidelights are these ones:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/x4-ERROR-...-PURE-White-/321654205961?hash=item4ae415ae09

But they feel really loose inside the bulb connector so I'm looking at alternatives that won't be knocked loose and end up rattling around inside the headlight housing. :o

Here is another from the same night with some friends, fog was really bad but adds some atmosphere :)

awesome! thanks.

eh, I don't think its my unit tbh! I will be getting this -;

http://www.eonon.com/Car-GPS/Android-Car-GPS/Mazda/GA5151F.html

very soon! :) but for now I wanted aux in.. will try the cable you bought :o :)

thanks for the LED link! got a set for my interior, current ones are really dim.

I don't ever use my sidelights.. it's either they're on dipped or off, not sure if it's worth upgrading, are leds much brighter?
 
I never use my sidelights on their own either, it was more just so when they're on alongside the Xenon headlights they're the same colour (white) rather than the ugly yellow-ish of the regular bulbs.
 
Thanks, there was a lot of searching through 2 litre diesels...

It was an ex BMW UK car. Spec below:

BMW 435i Gran Coupe
‘64 plate – 1,036 miles
Sports Auto transmission
Sunroof
Professional Navigation
Heated Steering Wheel
TV Function
Harmon Kardon Speaker System
M Sport Plus Pack
Extended Storage
Adaptive LED Headlights with high beam assist
Heads Up Display
Folding Mirrors
Front Armrest
 
Nice spec :)

Last time I visited my Uncle he'd just got his new BMW, petrol BMW 6 grand coupe...a 640i M Sport in melbourne red. There are still some purists out there when it comes to engines, he was reluctant enough to consider something with a turbo (the 640i is a turbo 6, introduced with the facelift of the 6 series I think, unless it was 635i before?).
