No mate, the big black plastic grin, the air intake mesh.
I'm wondering why the two clip out panels, wonder what else will fit into that space
Time to have a chat with the parts adviser...
My tastes are also for understatement, I couldn't live with corner splitters like Mick's. My wife would finish them off in no time so could also be a bit expensive. Never mind lowering, I'd have to raise it to clear the kerbs!
Like the roof spoiler.

No chance of her damaging the E60. I do like the corner splitters, so i think i'll make enquiries about the chrome grille, M5 boot filler, ACS roof spoiler, ACS rear valance & the ACS front corner splitters, oh & of course the ACS grille badge. I think that should be enough.Thanks everyone for your advice/assistance.

Having now got my car back, i'm a very happy chappie again & enjoying her fully (the DMS re-map helps that). I thought to myself, what could i do??
I don't want to modify her performance, as i'm very happy with that & i purchased this car to get away from stupid running costs, however i kinda fancy some subtle upgrades & to individualise her a little.
Are their any BMW options i've NOT got that could be retro-fitted (all options are in my sig below)? I'm not wanting BMW to tinker with my Engine ECU again so any options would need to not require any major software upgrades.
Also how about body styling (subtle). The Schnitzer kit looks very nice. How much is it, where can i enquire in the UK & is it worth the money?? I enphasise subtle, i have no intention of Max Powering my car. Love my wheels, so don't want to change those.
Are their any interior options or extras i could get/fit?? Updated my i-drive controller to an 06MY version, but is their anything else??
Found out earlier this week that their's nothing i can do with my ICE to enhance the sound a little, unless i'm prepared to spend around ?1500 which i'm not, as the current sound is fairly good so not worth ?1500 to upgrade that.
Just looking for ideas & pointers. As said above, i've no intention of going overboard so subtle & complimentary to the E60's form is what i'm looking for.
Cheers in advance.
