I want to get the M-Tech kit and quad exhaust for my 2004 545. Do you have any recommendations on where to purchase and who to install it. Does BMW do this?
What does the entire thing typicaly cost (including paint work)?
Thanks

I purchased my M kit from RoverActive on eBay. Nice guy, and reliable. It was pre-painted at the factory in Germany. My local BMW dealer installed the kit.
Total cost, after install was about $3000, if my memory is correct. It was not cheap, but well worth it.

Oh yeah.
I forgot to mention. It is December 17, and it is 75 degrees outside.

How do you not have any little, minute chips? not one? maybe it's because i have jet black so they're obvious to a degree, when you plant your face inches from the hood, but where i live, it's inevitable. ok...let's have it...do you even drive the car?

SubterFUSE,
Nice to see that after 2 years the Ti-Grey still looks great, taking in account that exposing our cars to Cent. FL weather, local driving conditions and local drivers can lay havoc on a car.
From a Ti-Grey to another Ti-Grey, thanks for reminding me why I chose Ti-Grey
