My Ride: 2006 550i pretty stock so far
I have a 2006 5560i. I want to make my car look more aggressive, but I do not want a M5 clone. What mods (i.e. trunk finisher and rear spoiler, front bumper, side skirts, rear window spoiler, etc) do you guys reccomend and can you include pics and costs. If anyone is selling any of these thing i might be interested. Thanks.

BTW, my 2006 5560i is in the shop, but my 2006 550i is fine.
I thought there you had a special "limited edition" 5er that no one else had!...IMHO - a roof spoiler adds a great deal to the rear of ther car, as well as an Mtech front and sides.
OEM 166's also add a subtle aggressiveness to the look!
I happen to have a set available if you're interested!

depends on the amount of money u have to spend
:l
to be honest the mtech pieces have been done to death
and with great understanding as to y
availability, fitment, and price
if i had money to burn and didnt mind the wait id go for a alpina b5 clone or gpower m5 clone
alpina b5:
gpower m5
but if u dont have that kinda scratch or dont like those then the mtech kit still looks nice

I'm a big fan of the alpina lip too, I too am looking to do something with the front of my car but don't want to go with the mtech or m5 (everybody has this). Also for consideration could be the replica hamann CF front lip, search for v_therussian he had one on his car.

The Mtech look may have been done to death on this forum but I don't see many on the road here in MA. Very occasionally I see a new E60 with the factory sport package body kit and I only see an M5 maybe twice a year... The Mtech is still a great look/match with the E60 body style, Alpina being a very close second IMO
