Spring Pics - 545i
I promised the guys at Trinity I would post pics when I got my M5 rep nose and side skirts on. I posted a few pics of the nose in my garage but here is the whole car. I think it looks pretty good for a 5 year old car especially considering the rear bumper and trunk were repainted before I bought it and the nose, side skirts, M5 trunk finisher and rear lip spoiler were bought pre-painted and at different times. All the exterior mods were sourced from Trinity. They have great prices and outstanding customer service
I keep thinking about newer/bigger wheels but I love the way the car drives and rides on the forged 18" BBS LM's so next up is a Dinan CAI, throttle body and stage 3 software. Parts are on order, can't wait to get it done. The Alpina badges were my sons idea. We are big Alpina fans and follow Alpina models through my BMWCar magazine.

Looks cleeean! Very nice. I'm planning on getting the same kit, but need to save some $$$ first. I've been reading a lot of good stuff about Trinity. Seems like you're pleased with the overall transaction.
Happy Driving.

looks sweet!
and although the wheel are "only" 18's, the LM look really good...
a buddy of mine has original LM's for sale in 19"...same as the ones you got in 18. Probably a PITA to ship tho....if interested give me a PM.
Also, on the first pic on the second post you seem to have something on your grille??

Looks Great! thanks for sharing.
you are correct about looking all-right for a 5 year old car. I parked next to a 2009 550 the other day at the dealer, and my car did not look out of place or dated. the Bangle design gets lots of mixed reviews, and I have to admit, it took me a couple of years to warm up to it, but I think it will stand the test of time! The F10 is hot, don't get me wrong, but it is like a smaller versin of the 7 series. The e60 is its own animal.
great pics, I bookmarked this thread so I can figure out where to install the M5 spoiler I have sitting in my garage! did you install the nose and skirts yourself?
