the alpina rear looks too busy for me.. ive seen Vlads on the front and it looks good on white.. the back though reminds me of the acs rear and i dont like that one... just my 2 cents

Thanks for all the pics. I think I am going to go for it. I will have the spoiler painted and installed over the next week. I will post pics. As for the front, need to save a grand!

Great looking pictures. Mine is post-LCI but the pre-LCI does give me an idea. For installation, do you need to remove the existing front spoiler or does it install on top?
Hollywood, I wonder if they'll give discount for buying 2.
Is your car pre or post LCI?

Thanks for the pics, DK! 
I've since popped some racemesh grilles into that bumper - mostly did it for the functionality of preventing objects from flying into the air inlets, but the look is actually great too.
I love the Alpina front. The sides that come with it are OEM M-tech sides (I have them on as well, see pics below), so get those NOT from KSK to save some cash. As for the rear, I am actually "undecided" on an m-tech rear - planning to get wheels first, do the drop and then see if I wanna change the rear at all. I know m-tech rear on an Alpina-kitted car is probably not "accurate", but looks-wise, I think it will do the job of looking great. Or not... see what I mean by "undecided"?
As for fitment and all that - Alpina is THE best I've ever dealt with. The body shop that installed it for me did a slightly sloppy job, but that's probably bc I bought the front already painted. If they had to paint it, they would've prepped it better and it would've come out almost OEM-looking. And it does look OEM anyway - has that "did it come from the factory like that?" look
Need I say I love Alpina products?
GL, OP!

Yes mine is an LCI. KSK has 2 rear spoilers for sale at a crazy cheap price of $560. (reg $980) (! is mine, so i should say 1 left) As for the front....I am sure if we both buy the front spoiler we could get some kind of discount.

Btw Alpine installs over the existing front. You may need to remove (if lci even has this) a little black plastic piece that is under the bumper cover, so that the underside of the Alpina overlay clears the bottom - you'll see what I mean, when you get it. But I am pretty sure that ordering a front from KSK will take a while to receive - have you found out how long to get it? I'd say, try to get it used, but there's just no chance of it happening - no on in the States probably even has an LCI Alpina front for E60. So you'll be original
I like the m-tech rear for my setup, but like I said, I wanna be sure I have rims and the drop in place before deciding whether I need to change the rear at all.
