Nicely done C!

BTW, all the mods EXCEPT the wheels were bought from Trinity. And those wheels look like garbage on your car.

Hey, we're twins:

Maybe it's cause your car is lighter so the spoilers stand out more? Compare that to this pic of my car:

Oh and here's a pic of an ACS roof spoiler with the OEM M5 trunk spoiler:

Maybe the RDSport trunk spoiler is too big. There are times I feel that it is....

Anyway, I think your car looks HOT man. I think the Hartge splitter will nicely round out the exterior mods.

This M5 is a BEAST. Do you enjoy an occasional round of golf, or perhaps a go cart race or two on the lip of your rear wheels in the off season?

So I finally got around to installing my roof spoiler and rear diffuser. They had been sitting in my garage all winter. I'm still on the fence about the roof spoiler. From certain angles I like it and from others, I'm not sold. I love the rear diffuser though.

I finally put my 20's back on for the Spring. I had the wheels completely refinished and rebuilt last month. They took apart the wheels into it's individual 3 pieces (barrels, lips, centers). They cleaned and retrued all the barrels, acid washed and polished all the rivets, machine polished all the lips and repainted all the centers. I love having these wheels back on the car, but I forgot what a pain in butt it is to keep them clean.

The last, and final mod to this car, will be the Hartge M5 Front Splitter.

All parts and mods for this car were purchased from Trinity Autosports (Joe, member r1racer). Thank you Joe...and Nerwyll.

Anyway, here are the pix. Enjoy.

Agreed...IMO, roof and deck spoiler look better on darker colored e60's (not being racial )

Looks awesome C!! I agree with you on the roof spoiler. I think it looks great on black because it blends in more with the window tint but on silver it seems to become much more prominent.

My wife said the same thing recently. Well, actually, she didn't even notice the rear diffuser and I wasn't about to tell her to look down...kind of like my exhaust/pulley story. LOL! Baahahahaha!

Anyway, she said to me the other day, you are definitely more and more Asian every time you add something to our cars. I guess white girls just don't get it.
+1 My wife says the same thing!! We're married to a couple of racists!!
