I have noticed that M5 mesh grill covers completely the mouth of the car and in M-kit not..I have read that there the difference is because M5 never has ACC. I wonder if it
is possible to get full grill for the M-kit car without ACC?

regarding ACC for M5.
QUOTE
ACC (Active Cruise Control) is not an option and it would not fir the typical M driver. Also the sensor would take up alot of space (see the M Sport Package for the 5 series and if it has ACC it looks like a big hole in the spoiler.)
QUOTE
What is the difference then?

[/quote]You are right.
It was a bit late when I replied -
What I meant to say is that the gaps are not to accommodate ACC, as you can see from the pic below.Its a pity they didn't make it the same as the M5.

that is a sick ride! congrats bmw535d. 
your car looks so hot hot hot.
what size are those wheels with the m sports package?
i definitely will want the m sports package with spoiler for my next e60, but in bmw individual sterling grey.
bmw#4 when are you taking delivery of your ride? are you in joburg or CT?
i salivate at the idea of flying this baby through the garden route, did that with a baby merc last year doing ~220 kph. i would love to hold my own photo shoot with my e60 @cape of GH. you are so lucky to have an e60 in SA.

Now I see that the M-kit's mouth is wider than M5's. There are more line flaws? in the latter and the grill of the former is something weird. In general I like M'5s much better.

but then again if we didn't, it would mean bmw would have done something really wrong
