My M5 exhausts have been sitting in my garage for quite a while as well as my Brake rotors and callibers. Last week i decided to install them. It was a tough procedure but the result speaks with its own.

Here are a few pictures from my mobile phone.

No man, it's impossible : did you change the trunk floor ?
You can't fit those (right) mufflers to a normal E60 : there are spare tyre and the battery .


Then .. Is it useful the M5 exhaust ?
It's only heavier ..

Congrats for the brakes!! +1 with M5 brakes!

Everything is possible. I did change the trunk floor and the battery part. I didnt notice any difference but looks better than my quad remus exhaust

The brakes are amazing. Thanks a lot AlexFW

Oh, I know, I know : you don't know how I know it

I did change the trunk floor and the battery part.
Eheheh, that was the only way indeed . But how did you do ? The trunk floor is welded at the chassis .. Did you CUT the chassis ?
Did you keep runflat or normal tyres ? And in case of puncture, if you have nonRF ?

No i didnt cut the chassis. I cut the floor and then i released it from the chassis and welded the M5 trunk floor. I already ordered runflat. 'expensive'

and below my next project

FINALLY. Someone who actually puts an M5 motor in their project and not just the wheels and mirrors and bumpers. Good for you drantispy.
