It feels smaller from the inside, by that, I meant it doesn't make u think u r driving sucha big car. absolutely love the active steering and dynamic drive. I think they r must have add ons if u r buying a 5er. The idrive screen is so big. My opinion on the 7er has turned 180d, if I need a big lux car, that will be on top of The list...... until 5gt or f10 comes out

thx man for taking me along
This car has completely changed my impression on 7ers, and I love the front... that said, I do think the LCI tail lights on our E60's looks much better

Why it is so expensive for the paint job??
Well, because "go lo wah" said it is going to be a painful and time comsuming job for him... and he will fix the color difference between my left front and back doors as well
which is great but the cost... at least he saved me from repainting the whole car (I heard last time 545's whole car paint job costed nearly 20k)

bro keith84_uk, looks like I am going to shop for another set of shocks and springs... I need to raise the car a little to accomodate a new low front... my new bumper is lower than the oem by 2.5" leaving maybe 2-3" space (at best) above the road... man, I go OT every Sunday!

Anyone interested in my set of Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs (Coil-over OEM shocks)?

I just took a C36AMG to get it repainted from black to silver and it cost 19k so i suppose you are saving some $$$
