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.

[RL...]

i do love the m5 bumper!

[quickdodge®]

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

[Ziptied]

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

yessir its a 540i/6-speed.

[Ziptied]

Ah, very nice indeed then. I had one back in 2002, sold it cause they are maintenance whores and began nickel and diming me to death.

Oh, and get some m5 mirrors....

[StarBwoy]

indeed. they are money pits. m5 mirrors are in the plans!

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.

[quickdodge®]

so I have to re-do the exhaust.

Glad to read this! Later, QD.

[Bacon]

I love this generation M5. Nice to see you going that route.

[Genji-Sama]

I'm not a fan of that exhaust, but this is an uber clean 5-series :goodjob:

[Cynical 1]

looked better before.

don't make an M out of something that isn't...

:???: 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.

[Jzen]

Looks good. Where did ya get the M Bumper? Brand? I plan on purchasing one soon for my 5.

[PRO®]

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.

[eYezs1ck]

i love this color!

[G.C]

lookd better with the wheels on your sig.

[PRO®]
