Sweet! That looks exactly like my CBM 5, minus every single mod!

What kind of Dinan suspension setup is that? Springs or coilovers?

And those M5 reps still look massive at 19 inches.

Thanks! Dinan only offers Stage 1 for this car as it has active sway bars stock. It is Koni shocks and springs. Yeah, funny about the M reps. I bought them and was not crazy about them so I sucked it up and sank a TON of cash into the new HREs then I got the Hamann stuff on it (just got it back today) and I loved the look of the M5 reps. Oh well, the HREs should be sick.

Thank you. I made the wheels and new tires part of the deal with the dealer. Doing a little horse trading on the HREs and new tires.

Very sweet man, hows the performance mods over stock? Did one of those mods make a more noticeable difference than the other? We are gonna have to get a BMW night setup in Atlanta
