et, hope you got my pm.

E60 weighs nearly the same as E90 +/-1570kgs(correct me guys to the digit)
because of the use of alu alloy bonnet, wings, suspension, axle etc,.
it was way ahead of its time.
MB only recently started with alu front ends with their S class
my 2004 525 is 1550kg
E60 is the lightest in it class.

just like to know are you planing to do all these mod on your new car?
put it this way, you need about $60,000 to get to look like and feel like our mods

Of course got big plans for it..... Will remain a secret until the modding begins... hahah

But first step is to get a car first... ROFL...

depends on Ah Kin.
they look good, but slippery, they came with adhesive pads to stop slipping during installation
and 2 screw holes, the bottom (out of sight portion) is quite wide for splitting under the bumper, was surprised
