Not only have we seen it. They've even quoted us for the price, which comes out to about 800- 900 dollars a rim. Which is about right for these high profile rims. I don't think a reputable shop like RPM would ever lie to BMW owners like us, its just not smart if they do. I think they exist but TireRack just never got the info and never ordered. Sam, I think the best bet right now would be the get the one from RPM, because my friend called and the best price he could get is the same price the guy gave us, normally he charges more than that. So I guess your first step would be those wheels at RPM and maybe the bumper from Tony. Tony if Sam goes through with just the back bumper of M5, I might get the M-Tech from you as well. Cheers bro...
Yah Peter, MAybe u r right Bro, so we will go once again to find out the best price at RPM again, now i have just asked Tony to quote me on the rear M5 Bumper shipped THAILAND and he hasn't come back with the prices yet, so if i order the Rear M5 Bumper then you can take mine M AERO rear Bumper and maybe you just order the front M5 bumper or maybe M AERO bumper along with the side skirts or you better check the M AERO Kit's price at RPM with that Guy and try to compare the prices with the Tony's prices and if there is a big price difference then definately order with TONY and get it painted and mounted at my freind's workshop (good quality job) at very cheap charges,

See u bro

How's your rear bumper? You had a little accident right? Is it like cracked or something or just paint problem. I think its cheaper if I get the whole set, but I'm not sure. I'm still debating over all the bodykits and wheels. But M-Tech is one of my best choice right now. Anyways, we'll check it out. When are yuo coming back anyways? Cheers bro...

Yeah Peter, My Rear bumper had just few scratches on the paint so i gave it to BMW for repaint it and now i have got it back with 2 years paint warranty from company, THANKS GOD that it was ABS PLASTIC otherwise if FIBER then would have broken into small pieces as you know that ABS is absorbing plastic so nothing happend at all,

Yeah i am also planning to go back in this week so when i go back then i will give you a call and meetup,
Have you got the price for the whole MKIT from RPM and TONY ! What do you think !

See u bro

The whole M-Tech kit is around 72000 with paint, I think. Tony is offering it for 1499 without paint. If I get Tony's will I have to pay tax and all that on the product? Then paint, I dono how much it'll cost, but you have a friend, so we'll ask him. When you get back, give me a call, I think with your help I can get all the mods on my car faster than I plan, thats if you're willing to help..

Hey Peter, Don't say like that, u r my best freind and my buddy, why i should help you, don't use this word as Freinds never HELP, we are freinds and i can do anything posssible to sort out anything for you at my best Peter,
Where did you get this 72,000 THB quote ! Is it painted and installed ! or just the parts without color ! if 1499 US$ is just for the MKIT, then i don't think it would work becoz we will have to pay atleast 3 to 5,000THB for customs clearance as these are very big parts not the small like interface from DOM, so i think we better try this at RPM, i will call you once i get back to BKK,
I am always here Buddy, anything, jus gimme a call

Thanks Sam.. I know you'll help me hahahahaha... And if you ever need anything, I'll definitely do the best I can too... I got this quote from AutoSport, painted and installed. I think that at AutoSport, they give better prices than RPM. Although I'm not sure if they charge more to paint then if I just get it and get your friend's place to paint it. We'll have to see about that. Hurry back... With you here, I can get my wheels and bumper really fast. If you can help me out on this matter, I would thank you so so much!! I've been waiting so long for the outside mods, so since the unit from Dom is in back order, I got nothing to do with my car besides exterior mods... Thanks bro!! and Thanks again for everything you've done for me... Cheers!!

Thats cool if we don't have to pay any customs charges... Anyways, we're gonna have to wait till Sam get back to do the mods.. I might go M-Tech, then 166 or 167 wheels.. Sam will probably go M5, Breyton wheels... We'll have to see about that, and how bout the iDrive controller? any news on that quad_m>?

I think it's not possible in THAILAND to get anything imported without paying a single Baht, In here, you have to pay for everything or otherwise they will check it's ORIGINAL VALUe FROM bmw AND THEN !!!! BINGOOOO !! You will have to pay the tax on the exact amount, but we will have to try with something to get it started,

Well, Tony, Can you please quote me on the side fenders of M5 !
Yeah Peter, I will be back to BKK on this monday but if i have to go LONDON tomorrow then maybe i'll be back on next Monday, Want anythin from LONDON ! Tell me,

CHEERS BRO
