A thing of beauty! Those mods (and the ones in the near future) may just surpass the price of your 5er lol.

Nice car - can you describe what the lightweight flywheel is like to drive with? You're building yourself a nice little E60 550i with an E39-M5 soul...

Thank you very much. Yeah it is a lot like a e39 M5. In fact I believe it will out accelerate one when I add the Quife 3.46 LSD. The lightweight flywheel is awesome. The reduced mass really lets the car rev nicely. Very responsive to the throttle. And the way Dinan does it, by reducing mass form an OEM flywheel, is really nice. You don't get that rattle that most aftermarket ones will give you. One one occasion, since putting it in about 3 weeks ago, I head a very slight rattle (but it was VERY sublte...a passenger would not even notice-only me because I am so in tune with my car). It was prob the best addition. The clutch feels very nice. Can feather it and get a nice jump off the line. All in all I love the flywheel and clutch.

You know, I was skeptical about the 3/4" drop with the Dinan springs you had mentioned before. However, looking at the car and how it sits, it looks really badass - great drop and stance. Can't wait to see it with the new wheels
