The wide body kit looks like something straight out of an old JC Witney catalog. What a way to f*ck up an M5...sigh

There's nothing to get really. To me, instead of enhancing the look and flow of the car, the kit looks like a mismash of cheap bolt-on parts, instead of the expensive kit it is. It alters the lines and flow to give a wide appearance, but it looks far too blocky to me.

Off topic here but I can't ignore but to ask member advancedlogic or anybody. Where can you get this fuel mixture, and is there an advantage in using this? Thanks. I remember VT posting locations of high octane fuel years ago but couldn't find it.
