The idea was "stolen" from here and of course the results and looks are different
I think this mesh is better looking than the other 1 but still not my design

personally I htink its the most aggresive bumper out for the e60.. but thats jsut MY opinion..
for the front bumper my top picks are the m-tech + splitter and the hamann.. i absolutely agree that they are aggressive looking and i love it. those are my favorite fronts to see on an e60.

Maybe just the part on the front bumper. A bit overkill with the kidneys
I agree

Although it is a matter of taste, any designer will argue that these details can enhance or detract from a vehicle's design and feel.
These grilles just don't seem right on the BMW!
In fact, I didn't buy a guy's very clean E60 because he had these grilles and an ugly exhaust tip installed. He wanted extra money for something I would have had to pay to bring back to stock.
