Is it just me or don't the non M5 mirrors look better than the M5 combined with this facia?!

It'll be an expensive conversion, but go for it. I think the front end of the M5 is very mean looking.

Oh yeah...M5 side mirrors all the way.

One last thing...after completing the conversion, if you decide to slap M5 badges on your car, take a hammer to your head three times, yank-out 10 nose hairs from each nostril, and please don't tell anyone of us here that you did it.

BMW E60 OEM M5 FRONT BUMPER WITH GRILL

Any interest?

================================================== ===================

Hello 'quad_m' date=,

Your BMW looks quite awesome!

I am impressed, but can I ask you a question? How does you replica BMW M5 rims ride? Are they hard to keep balanced?

I do like them, but I bought a new set of replicas from a online replica wheel company that would not stand behind and warranty their product against defects, like the one I had, and they assured me they would before I bought from them,

, but thank God I used a credit card and after notifying them by certified mail of what I intended to do if they did not hold up to their end of the deal, and still with no response back, I had no choice but put them under protest to get them to do what they said would! (replace a defective rim), Now they did look BMW great, but I could never get that BMW ride back, until I sold them and bought BMW OEMs, and they ride smooth as glass, but now I want a set of M double spoke 135's, but cannot afford their price right now of 530.00 each, until my year old 71s are sold here at the forum that I pd 530.00 each for them too, which I will take $1400.00 or 1,500.00 S&H included, so I can order from BMW a set the M5 OEM 135 18 inch rims.

.

I wish you the best!

Sincerely,

Eddie Presley
