putting 20" or 22" on a 5er don't make you go any faster. if you want speed get a cheap EVO and pretty much out run anything out there, I bought my 545i for 2 reasons it handles like a bimmer and style. putting all those aftermarket stuff on the car I'm just fooling myself! why not save the money and get the real thing M5? looks like this black bimmer have about 7k worth of aftermarket parts on and not counting whats under the hood. theres a guy in parts section who bought a M kit for his 520I with the M badge and save 45k i wonder what the look on his face when he drive up next to a real M5 ? my point is people should be happy with their cars.

20s won't make the car any faster, but it will make it look a whole lot better. In some cases, modded cars can look overdone, but overall, I think originality is good. I have a 545 with style 124 wheels and while I think it looks good, it looks like everyone else's car out there.

The guy with all the aftermarket products may not be to your liking, but I feel it's better than everyone else's boring old five on the street, including mine. The guy may have a lot of aftermarket products on his car, but I'm sure he has sponsors and gets most of his items at a great discount.

For the person with the M kit, while the m badge is a big no no, I feel the M kit suits the car just fine. You can say why not just save up for a M5, but in his country a M5 would cost at least 150K.

I agree with you but a 520i is a 520i it looks all wrong with the M kit. no matter how you slice people who knows bmw will find out your driving a 520I with make up.
If i bought a 06 M5 I would be piss if i see a 520 or a 530i with a M Kit! because I'm no longer special, anybody can have their 5er look just like my 90k M5. I dont even think BMW should allow people to buy M KIT! if they want M5 to be exclusive this is what they need to work on. I'm pretty sure people who order a M5 want to feel Special I know i do!!

Very true I agree... Even tho the M has the awesome engine... the M kit being so similiar to the M5 makes the M5 less special... Never the less I WANT IT!

What other people drive never pisses me off. Somepeople de-badge their cars. Somepeople re-badge their cars. Many a 520 has a 540 badge and there are 100,000 vehicles on the road globally that have a Turbo badge, without any trace of a turbine inside.

Why look for exclusiveness in a mass produced car? If you want something exclusive there are cheaper solutions for sale..

M5 is exclusive here in NY i see 10 to 15 530i everyday and 2 of 3 545i per week how many people you think can afford a 2006 M5 not many. i be lucky if i see 2 per month
I'm sure M5 owners don't want to see wanna be's driving around town with their ghetto M kit.
