^ hard argument to make when they advertise as M5 replicas. I don't know any doctors that sell Pam Anderson tits.

lol.

well let me clarify, i thought you meant you wanted your car to look just like an m5, like buy a kit to do so. not a big deal if you like the rims or bumper or something. i just don't think it makes sense to attempt to deceive the general public that you have a 100k car when you really have a 40k car. it just seems kind of lame. obviously if you just have m5 rims no one is going to make that assumption. bumpers, skirts are fine as well, i think it's the side grill and the "M" emblem that pretty much put you over the top in the "imitation" group. IMO that is no different than the guy in that "mustang converted to an E60" thread floating around here somewhere...

I agree for the most part, I would never try to make an M5 out of my wife's car. That said I do plan on putting the M3 replicas (next week) and an M5 front bumper from trinity ( by year end). Not trying to fool anyone, it just looks better. The OP did ask about M5 reps, which leads me to beleive he would like wheels as similar as he can get to OEM. Nothing wrong with that either, I did too, just the one's I saw didn't quite look right. I'm glad though, now I have somthing unique.

the vendor is UK based and price is in euro's...

the OP is in the US, I think he meant it would be better to offer up a stateside vendor...

In the past I thought I saw some 20 inch m5 reps. I thought they looked better than real ones.
