I have also seen a few sets on the M5boards between $900-1100, much better price than Brembos and it's hard to justify a BBK for an I6

More to follow.

What did you replace your front bumper with? mine has a nice vertical whack in it that I'll either have fixed or replace the whole thing. I'm just leary of aftermarket as I have Night Vision on the car which makes the bumper unit unique.

Was gonna look at KSport coilovers - would be great to hear how they are when and if you install them!!

I had a set of OEM M5 brakes installed very recently... What a difference! Looks awesome especially after being painted in fire engine red!!!
