Hey everyone, Hope all is well haven't posted in awhile. I had to questions regarding my E60 since I am bored with the mods and want to change it up a tad.

I want to switch from my HR springs to some coilovers. I want to go lower. Any recommendations....

Also, I want to change the mtech kits rear bumper to an M5 rear. Not sure when I will upgrade to the quad exhaust so I wanted to see if anyone had a pic of the M5 rear with a dual exhaust.

Thanks everyone!!

I can't answer in regards to the coilovers cause I am still on HR springs and sit rather low already. If you check my build thread, I recently installed an M5tech rear bumper with a quad tip exhaust.

I would upgrade to a quad exhaust when you do the quad rear. It doesn't look good with a stock exhaust and quad rear depending on how long you wait.

Very true. I believe I installed my quad rear 5 days before and even that felt like a very long time. It really felt weird and that was just 5 days. Plus it also was pending a vinyl wrap so it really stood out. lol

@HollywoodE60 How long are you planning on waiting?

I don't have a stock exhuast. I am running a full stainless Meistershaft exhaust. I am more worried about having the empty side. If I drop the cash on the rear bumper I am not sure I want to drop the cash right away on the exhaust.

Are you just on springs with stock struts? If so how is the ride?

Yeah thats what I meant, having a empty side. Its gonna look dumb IMO to have one side empty. You could always get the mtech rear with a carbon fiber diffuser.

I am running just springs with non-sport stock struts.....Just hit 46k miles and I feel like the stock struts are going.. The first 40k miles were wonderful ride wise.
