My Ride: 2009 535i
I was at a boat show over the weekend and an M5 happened to park next to me so I thought it would be very prudent to shoot a couple of pics with my iphone.
Not the best quality, but here they are. Notice how small my eighteens look.

Nice but can I ask why the M5 has an amber light on the side of the front bumper? was that original and do they light up or just a reflector? I think if it was part of the DRL, that would look nice.
cheers

I like your lower stance better ...so, I assume the mind games have started after looking at that pic... when are you getting some 19s or 20s?

Years ago I saw an M5 parked close to a normal E60... Can you notice the difference in the hood inclination?
I thought the hood was different, but the part number is the same.
An M5 looks different! I'm wondering if someone who did the complete M5 front conversion has never parked near a real M5 and check for differences.
