My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
Great looking car.

Really, really nice ride my friend. Can I ask where you bought your mtech spoiler? how easy was the install? Using glue on my paint scares me.....
Also, where did you get your smoked tails?
Thanks,

The M5 front end I got from Trinity in California for like $349 plus shipping.

Ask for Anthony and tell him Alex from E60.net sent you! (I like discounts, too.) He has done ALL my mods, paint, installs, etc. Fantastic shop and I don't know what I'd do w/o it. The price is amazing.

Smoked tails are made by Hella which I believe is the OEM brand BMW uses for their cars. They are imports from Germany but I got them off Ryan Quan who is a member here for CHEAP! $200.

Thanks, I've gone to Anthony in the past. He installed my ACS lip on my E46 M. Did good work, for not a lot of cash, if I recall....
Where did you get the trunk spoiler though. I already have complete Mtech package, except the spoiler, and think it would finish the car. Just trying to find out which way to go. Vorsteiner (a bit pricey), Mtech, or M5 spoiler. I think the Mtech on yours looks nice, so maybe i'd go that route if it were not too expensive.

My trunk spoiler is notoriously dubbed "the whale wing" by C here on the boards.
Its a love/hate thing but I think it looks good on a black car. Its the OEM rear wing, actually. You can find it on BMW's website under their aero kit. Purchased from my local BMW dealer and paid $750 for it, (paint and installation included).
