My Ride: 04 545i - Titanium Silver/Black, Sport pkg, Comfort Seats w/ Lumbar, Premium Sound, power rear sunshade, Adaptive Xenon Headlights, Steptronic, Park Distance Control, Fold down rear seats w/ski bag, Aux jack, 6-disk changer, puddle lamps...
Engine: Custom Remus cat-back exhaust w/chrome square tips, K&N Air Filter, Charcoal Filter Removed, Sprint Booster :-), 50/50 mix of 91+100 Octane, EuroRev ECU Remap (coming soon lol), Dinan High-Flow Throttle Body (coming soon...maybe lol)
Interior: Portable Sirius Stilletto 100 w/car kit, Garmin Nuvi 680 mounted below rear-view mirror, LCI-style I-drive knob, Dark Poplar Center Dashboard Trim.
Exterior: E60 forum clings, 5% rear tint, ACS roof spoiler (painted black for distinct look against limo tint), ACS trunk spoiler, ACS add-on front spoiler and rear apron (awaiting installation), "18 Black Staggered BeBeS Style OER (emergency replacement for cracked sport 124 rims), black kidney grill, white accessory lighting (including license and trunk lamps), Angel-eye upgrade, AIB xenon-matched fog lamps, AIB V3's on order, red rear reflectors
Installation of the ACS is quite simple - it merely gets 'added' over the existing stock bumper. Simply remove the black plastic pieces around the fog lights (they pop out), put some double-sided 3m automotive tape on hidden contact areas and slide it on. I use self-tapping sccrews underneath for additionnal strength.

PS-Bought on Ebay as well. Not perfect but decently good for now.

My Ride: BMW 520i, March 2004, Silver Grey, 68000 Miles, PDC, DIY iPod Setup with remote control, GLOVE BOX TORCH- YES!
It might only be a 520i, but you've got to start somewhere! It's my first decent ride, and I'm still only 22. And unlike some this ain't Daddy's - it's all mine!
Man, is it just me or does everyone with the ACS lip have a Silver Grey car? The SG is really rocking this bumper I have to say.
AKAlius, checked those ebay links and they were much the same sellers as I had found. Sometimes when I see something is from Taiwan I just skip past. Best deal I could find was from Car King, Taiwan:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Painted-BMW...sspagenameZWDVW
Looks good because it is painted and shipped for about ?210 (about $400). Its boasting about the glories of PU. Anyone used this seller before/bought this from them?
Checked Euro-spec like you said Cleung, and the price is right (?60!!!), I'm just not sure about it not being painted, and international delivery prices. Don't know any good sprayers locally, but might still be worth looking into it. Its an ABS one.
1esquire, cheers for the offer but the knob I wanna replace is in about the same condition as yours (like I said a while back, I think Little Richard might have been the original owner of my car, going by the ring marks on the damn thing). Probably a bit worse than yours actually.
Nerweezy, PMed you back.
Thanks everyone!

Regarding Car King (aka Brad), its a hit or miss proposition. There was a thread regarding the quality of the product - there may be fitment issues. My ACS is a Car King unit. Not the greatest but decent for the cost.
