You can get the 20% discount from car mags like Motor Trend, Car and Driver, or Road & Track. The pneumatic air tool need a least 3 CFM @ 90 psi compressor.
Came with 2 blades.

They won't vent anything in the e60. I was wanting to know if they vented anything in the M5.
I keep looking to see if there is a way to get some engine bay venting out those sides but it doesn't look too feasible. I generally try to avoid fake vents, scoops, etc on my cars but I think I wll make an exception for these.

I convinced my wife I was making an "investment" 
putting mods will never get the money back that you paid.

Addendum:
If for some reason you cannot make the grille to fit flush with the fender, try grinding the bonding glue on the car
that may be in contact with the back of the grille (yellow star) or grinding some plastic off where the red marking is at.

Prep....
And don't laugh at my wheel gap! Better to concentrate on the awesomeness of my Michelin Pilot Super Sports and 19" VMRs
These arn't upside or backwards or anything are they?
