My Ride: 04/545i/saphire black/acs roof and trunk spoiler/m5 rear bumper with remus quad exhaust 76mm tips.
hi everyone ,i am presently doing some mods to my car,i've just installed an m5 bumper and remus quad exhaust ,which is a subtle deep rumble with a sweet note to it. the car has some tints,and i"m installing the ac style trunk and hood spoiler.the car has the stock 124 style wheels.......... my question is,i am not trying to make my car into an m5,is there any other subtle mods that would compliment the car,should i debadge the car?

Well, that's 1 for each so far 
I myself have thought about de-badging my car, but still haven't brought myself around to doing it. IMHO, it's a personal preference. De-badging the car does give it a cleaner look. I say do what seems right to you.

And make sure they say E-N-V-Y on the rear deck lid in chrome. LOL! Hahahaha! Where is that guy that did that? I never see him post anymore. He's from NY too. Too funny.
