Nah, I dono anything that i need specifically from UK. but thanks bro... Sam why are you considering M5 fenders? If you want M5 fenders, does that mean you're getting the M5 front too? Because I don't think the M5 fenders will not fit the M-Tech, it'll be about a cm different, and bending a fender is just not an option. If you want the "gills" then just take the original one and do a cut out, because an original M5 fender will most definitely not fit your M-Tech...

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 dont know anything about the idrive stuff you guys need to help me on those parts.
do you have any part numbers that might help? if so pm me and I will get back with lowest pricing possible.

cheers!

I think he is right you will have complications having it alligned while installing m5 fenders onto M-tech front bumper.

(I always think,if I install M5 front and fenders, I would have fender gills to be concealed/smoothed out
that way I wont have anybody telling/critizing me, you like to be an M5 owner, besides It will achieve a custom look without gills on the fenders)

I wouldn't criticize anyone for having the gills with the whole M5 kit. Some people would rather have 550 instead of the M5 for the difference in lower RPM torque, etc, but like the M5 body, so to me its just normal what people wanna do with their car, its their own taste you know. But again, I know there are many people here who comment (but not in any bad way) on people with M5 kits, but yet again, its their opinion, so the best way to avoid that is to have the gills but not the M5 logo, just M or none at all. Plus the gills really add a whole new look to a car, that little thing says a lot.. Anyways quad_m, you're right about people citicizing the look, but hey, how will you join the poser community if you don't have any M5 stuff on your car??? ... Sam you're already in bro, you got the M5 side mirrors, and that crooked M5 badge on your trunk, hahahahaha.... Get it straight!! and get the whole M5 body kit, and tint your windows way down so no one can see inside, then all those M5 mods will completely make you look like the president of the poser thread... hahahahaha (hey if you dono what i'm talking about, check the lounge for OFFICIAL THREAD FOR POSERS, or something like that... anyways this is all great... happy moding....

Its bugging the crap out of me, I want it brighter!! LOL... Ok cheers, when you get back, i'll put in the resistors for you, unless you wanna try yourself, then i'll just walk you through it...
