Hi everyone
Could members from the UK point me as to how much do I have to budget for an BMW M Aerodynamic kit for the E60 (including paint & fitting).
I am also interested in the 19" M double spoke styling 172 - any ideas about cost including tyres.
Thanks guys

You can look up wheels there too. Or there's ebay!

I wouldn't take the M aeropack retrofit route lightly.
Firstly the cost of the aero pack - ?1000 + vat at dealers. Like aybeesea says M style (Romford) will do it slightly cheaper, or maybe Autovogue in Stafford. I have seen it advertised on ebay for ?900 inc Vat.
Next painting, this will cost you at least ?600 for a good job at a reputable bodyshop. (About 1.5 litres of paint). Bmw dealer quoted me ?1000 paint and fitting.
The route I went was to buy a second hand m aeropack from a scrappy (flood damage) and had it painted by a friend but ended incurring extra costs with all the extra brackets and ducting needed for a professional fit.
Lastly, there are a set of 172 style wheels and tyres on ebay: -

So the answer to your question, I'd budget at least ?3000 total to be safe.

Ouch that is harsh for the 172's, specially since they are ?780 from the factory.

?950 plus VAT for painted and fitted body kit.
Not 172's.
