New guy here....just purchased my Sapphire Black 535i on Monday. I have to say, I couldn't be happier with the car. Well that isn't entirely true.....I'll be wheel shopping in the near future. But in the meantime, are there any pictures of a stock Sport package 5 with only the front bumper from the M Kit installed? I'm just curious how it would look with the factory side skirts and rear bumper. I've searched but I can't seem to find any pics. Thanks for your time.
Here's my bone-stock baby...(except for the window tint)...

here's my post a while ago when I did the front M Kit installed and leave the side and rear to stock. http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=36820&hl=

I did the same thing, only M-tech front for now.

I've got all the parts for Quad exhaust set up with M5 bumper but no money to get it painted and installed at the moment. (have to repaint my hood, trunk, trunk finisher and rear bumper).
Good luck with your new car!!

Thanks guys, thats exactly what I was looking for. It looks good but one thing is for sure...it makes the 124's look smaaall. That answers my question as to whether or not I should get the body kit or the wheels first. It's looking like I might go with some 19's and some Eibach prokit springs, then add the M tech front bumper and side skirts later. 20's obviously look better but I want to keep as much ride quality as possible....and keep as little rotating mass as possible.

My Ride: 2004 545i titanium grey 6 speed manual with light grey interior. Nav, L7, cold weather, sport, sat. Modifications: suede headliner, pianno black interior trim, Ipod dock, Mtech front bumper, Angel Eyes, and flat black kidney grills.
This is my 04 545i with Mtech front bumper and Vorstein spoiler on otherwise stock car. I found that you have to buy more parts than what comes in the kit if you want it to be just like a 550i sport ( with Mtech factory equiped ). I might post the parts list later but basically the styrofoam support, air ducts, fogs, and lots of other details need to be addressed to do it right. Technically even the fender liners are different but I did modify those since I did know they were different. I will post a complete parts list later after I get the last part for my own car, the correct lower service cover.

When I bought my front kit, I received it from Quad_M, (aka Tony). He provided great service and all the correct parts. Shipping was fast as hell, (next day). He had to prep and paint it, so that you have to be patient cause he's a busy man. If you get the front, definitely get it from Tony (quad_m), and maybe get the rear M5 bumper too....
