Your Breyton looks awesome, bc your car's ride is much lower than mine, man! But yeah, it is obviously an option...

KSK (which is the only supplier of Alpina in the US, that I've so far been able to locate) lists the Alpina front lip spoiler at $979 unpainted, before shipping. That seems way too expensive, considering I can get the entire m-tech replica kit from Umnitza for under a 1000 (before shipping).

But I'd LOOOOVE to get it, if anyone would sell me one cheaper. Actually, money no object, I'd "Alpinafy" my fiver in a heartbeat!!! Its a nice conservative and mature design, and IMHO it completes the look of e60 perfectly.

And yes, I have not seen one Alpina e60 in the States either!!!

ok, people... I've just ordered and paid for the Hamann CF replica...

now, I know, I know, y'all gonna say I done gone against the popular opinion and got the one that nobody else has... hah! that's the point! I want my baby to be unique at least in some way. Sorry for trickin' y'all and all, but it had to be done

anyway, now its on to the waiting (seller said should be here in 3-5 business days). My car's in the shop now, gettin' ready for the spoiler already. All in all, I should have a couple of upgrades come march (or at least, I hope it will be done by then). Will - naturally - hit the forums with the photos as soon as I got it back and buffed

THANKS EVERYONE!!! I truly do appreciate your opinions (even, or rather, especially if they differ from mine; as in difference of opinions the truth becomes evident).

Love all y'all, love e60.net, shut out to my mama and lord jesus christ, peace

IMO, the ACS style lip looks really good on a dark color E60 where you cant really see the lines between the lip and front bumper
