Hi all,
The mod bug bit me about a month ago. Here are the results of that bug... next up will be the performance mods. I'm looking to re-map my ECU fairly soon and will begin G-meter testing as well. Yes, I have considered dropping it. I almost bought Eibach springs from xexyus but found out they're not for a 545. Anyway, the way it is I have already scrapped the bottom of my bumper :'(
If you're wondering why I debadged I was talked into it by the guys at the shop. Plus, I believe it gives me the element of stealth
I have been mistaken for a M5 on a few ocassions and have told them straight up it's a 545. I'm not trying to be a poser/wannabe M5. I just love the look of the M5 
Ha,ha... the amount of $$ I have/will be spending I could've gotten the real deal

Sawadee kup 525iSE,
In addition to the M-tech body and M5 rims, I have the M5 rear lip spoiler and trunk cover. Notice that my keyhole is gone.
Thanks everyone for the nice compliments! Just waking up and getting ready to take my car over to the BMW rally in Santa Barbara. It's 5:30am Saturday morning. Need to clean up the rims a little from all the braking I did in LA traffic last night.
Ah, yes... that reminds me Brembo brakes soon! Errr... bug keeps biting.
