I think he means why trump the car up to look like an M5. I voted M-spec because it looks fantastic and more sporty.

I think that ipp is suggesting that purchasing a Sport variant E60/61 somehow makes you a "wannabe". Which is odd, as "wannabe" suggests aspiring ro something you're unable to attain, and simple maths shows if you can affoed a Sport, you can afford the corresponding SE model. Maybe the "wannabe" needs to be transposed? ;-)

It's just occured to me that maybe he's tyring to say the SE is better looking than the sport, but obviously that's just silly! ;-)

Installed the M-aero kit this month, absolutely love the front lip. Chose not to intall the deck wing tho, that one looks ugly and out of place.

I think that's what he's asking.
I for one like the M-pack (even if it it seems to some as a wannabe M5).

However, it does give the 5 a sport look and that may not be
everyone's cup of tea (especially in this class of car)

I know in the UK the Sport has high resales, but I was
advised by my SA not to buy the kit. In his word, only boy racers
bought it and I would have a harder time seliing it here.

I sure do like it though

Get the sport kit if you want it. However, my opinion is that you shouldn't make your car look like a M series car by putting M badges all over your car. I see that a lot over here. However, they leave the original badge on. Have you ever seen an M3 316? I have, damn poser.
