Your car looks great. Great choice with the M5 Tech bumper. I will soon be joining the crowd. I just didn't know if I needed to get the sides with the front, or if I could wait a little. I think I can wait just a bit based on how yours look.
Good Job.

Thanks Guys, I am very happy and excited, it just looks soo different now. Still cant believe how nice it looks, im still drooling every time i get out of the car and walk away, just keep looking back!
To nomis, do you really thing the HID will intensify its look? Would I have to upgrade my angel eyes then to match?
I kinda like the match between the fog and Angel eyes. Do you have a pic maybe? just havent seen it yet.
to RCTMhouse, I am strongly thinking about changing the grills to all black, but in order to do so, do I have to take out the bumper out again? or is there a simple way to do it under the hood? The more i keep looking at it, the more i am wanting the Matte black grills.
To Beemer family, YES! they are OEM M6 rims, I got lucky on the set! my friend decided to put some Huge rims for a car show and didnt want the factory rims. No, they are not running on sports suspension. My understanding is that in order for me to upgrade to sports suspension, I have to do something to the computer? I really want to do that next...
To Cwest, can you show me a pic of a E60 with shadowline trim? not sure what it is yet. Thanks
Trev,
My friend Eric from DV auto venture did the install for free, my paint job cost me $300
Mitch, I really just wanted the front bumper, im not too crazy about the side skirts. maybe a trunk spoiler, but i doubt i will get the side skirts. doesnt look off at all.
I would appreciate if some of you can show me what yours look like? Im just happy I joined the club and appreciate your feedback on it. Thanks

Looks Great!!!!!!!!
I'm getting a MStyle kit that includes front bumper, side skirts and the black grill installed on Saturday by Trinity Auto Sport and I can't wait. I'll post pictures over the long weekend. Again your car looks really good.

Merciless - thanks for the reply back. I'll need new tires down the road, (very near future) and I'm thinking of new rims as well. Not liking my stock 545 rims. In regards to your suspenion, are you planning on replacing your current stock suspension to OEM Sport Supension? If so, just go aftermarket instead. Eibach/HR/ Bilstein/Koni etc.
Again - welcome aboard dude!

Shadowline trim is the chrome trims around your window. Instead of them being chrome it's black where it comes standard on sport package E60. Hope this help you understand what shadownline trim is.

Cool, Thanks Ivory, I will be looking forward to your pics.
My next upgrade will be the angel eyes, if only I can find some brighter Yellow. I still love the yellow OEM color, but want it much brighter. Maybe Amber?
