I originally started a thread trying to link-up forum members residing in Korea.
http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=60150
However, I received absolutely '0' response from Korean residents.
Therefore, I have started a new thread and expanded it to all Koreans to link up on this forum!

I really like the Vorstiener kit, but too much $$$$... 
Plus I ordered my car with the M-Sport Package which includes the full M-Tech Kit. If I go with the quads (most likely I will), I'll just do the diffuser for now. If the M5 didn't cost nearly US$170,000 here in Korea (and it cost about the same as it did in the U.S.), I'd get it and do the full Vorsteiner kit with wheels, brakes, and the works! 
But no such luck! 
My 528i M Sport is going to cost me a little less than US$85,000 without registration fees (about 10% of the price of the car) and the mods.

Wow that's insane! I forgot that it said you got the m package in your sig. In that case the diffuser is the way to go. You'll most likely have to get the piece shipped in from the Europe or the states. But make sure you wait until the won is stronger!

The reason why cars cost so much is huge importer and dealer mark-up for imported cars. On some cars, the dealer can afford to give a 30% discount and still make money! 
They (the importers and dealers) say that if they lower the price of cars, that Koreans won't buy imported cars??? Even though Koreans in Korea have this thing about paying more for something than someone else, I think the importers/dealers should lay off the crack and start implementing some more realistic pricing. Japan is a good example. Japan has fairer consumer pricing for cars. Car enthusiasts in the U.S. have it lucky. Some of the lowest prices in the world if not the lowest.

Can I get some opinions on this Remus quad and Rieger diffuser set-up? I'm thinking of doing the same for my car (originally decided to just a Remus dual exhaust system). And... Does anyone know which model Rieger diffuser is on this car?
