Haven't put on my diffuser yet, because I have to get a new exhaust put on. I also have to blackout the chrome grill/window/side moldings.

Also in the future, I will be doing something about those tails, lol.

Criticism welcomed.

Car looks nice with that front end piece on it. Exhaust, in my opinion, looks like it should be on a Honda. Later, QD.

M5 not found. Is your 540, if it is a 540, a six-speed?

I can't put the diffuser on, because the exhaust placement is off and it wont fit on the way the exhaust currently sits. The bumper is different from a non-M bumper, so I have to re-do the exhaust.

:???: They are M bumpers. 540i M-Sports come stock with the M-tech front/rear bumpers. Bumpers don't make it a M5, hence the 540i badge.

The rear is OEM. Got it refurbished from Bumper Connection, a place that sells refurbished bumpers out of Marietta. The front is a rep that I picked up off of ImportAtlanta around February. I believe he purchased it from DDM though. From what I understand most reps are made by the same people. I've heard good things about Umnitza. IIRC they charge 260 shipped for the front bumpers.
