Well I'm thinking of purchasing a cheapish 545i, and I had noticed it doesn't have any m tech items (steering wheel, rims etc)
I had noticed there is a wrecked M5 in my area and I'm thinking perhaps I can use the rear bar, rims, Steering wheel silver trim panels (dash, ac vent surronds, silver door trims F&R)& possibly the front seats (I believe these have active side bolsters which would require some form of reprogramming?
I believe all of the aforementioned items are a simple straight swap, just unsure of the front seats?
Also is there anything else I should be looking of raping the M5 of (besides the awesome V10 and 7 speed smg box?!?)

The seats would need programming, modules, and the buttons on the lower dash to enable all the way.
I also believe the rims have different offsets, so spacers are needed on the rear.

So the spacers are needed on the rear to ensure the rims don't clash with suspension components?
