Great looking setup, did you previously have the M-tec bumper or was it standard?

Looks good. You should attend one of our local meets. I believe we'll have one coming up soon once the weather turns.

All the best

Thanks... if I can make I'll be there.

Actually, there's a little way to make the gap a little less noticeable.

You can loosen the front bolts by that, there are 5 bolts. Once you loosen then, you can add small spacers under the bolts, where the bumper bolts onto the car. That'll definitely help.

Let us know if u need help, its fairly simple.


I believe there's a thread that people posted about the gap for the mtech and they used the same method i was talking about.

I'll look for the thread and I'll try it today.. Thanks...

Thanks C,
I'm doing good and I hope you are as well. I haven't seen you or your wife either in awhile flying by me but I've been getting to work after 9 so thats probably why... I'm going to try and make the next meet.

Thanks, I had the standard 530xi bumper on it and I added the Acs spoiler and carbon fiber splitters.

Your car looks great! The splitters look really good with the ACS lip. I really like your wheels. I was just looking at the at tirerack.com. I was thinking of going with a staggered set-up though. How do you like the wheels?

Nice work. Always nice to have a lady's touch around here. Mel has been outnumbered
Thanks... I actually bought my rims/tires on Tirerack.com . they ship very fast too which is a plus.. I hate waiting around for parts etc.. .I love the rims and I'm actually looking to get another rim and tire to keep as a spare in my trunk. Thanks again and sorry Mel... .

And you did the Carbon because of better wear with Road Rash and war and tear.
Sure looks good getting the front end down.

A garage attendant pulled out of the lot to fast and scratched the bottom of the lip and they wouldn't take responsibility for the damage. So after a few days of searching I found the splitters on ebay for $100 and it saved me from getting the underneath of the acs spoiler repainted. I had a almost the same set up on my 330 when I had it so I figured it would looks just as nice....
