Very nice !!

But that ///M Badge has gotta go!! It screams "Pouser" to anyone who knows what it is.

You do not need a ///M Badge to make you car look good.

... That's because there's no "rear reflectors"

I like the look.

The boxes show the original BMW logos on them so I believe they are OEM.. How is it possible that this site offers them for much less money then my dealer can???

Too bad they require front license plates where you live. It hurts the look.

I love Florida. We only have plates on the back.

My Ride: 2010 E63 AMG -- Palladium Silver/Black. Love this car but looking to switch things up to keep things fresh. 2nd AMG in a row, but toying with coming back into the BMW fold!

The side skirts are barely perceptible from these pictures. I would suspect, eventually, you will be able to purchase the front piece alone. From what I have seen of the M aerodynamics parts, the front bumper actually matches the stock rear bumper nicely, especially when you consider the shape of the rear reflectors versus the shape of the fog light air intakes upfront.

Just my $.02 (that and another $3.77 will get me a small coffee at Starbucks)

Very NICE! I wish I can get it here in the States... But I dont think the M badge fits... if I saw that on the road I would laugh and not think too highly of you. Kit is great and all either debadged or with the original badge.

The Danish car prices SUCKS BIG TIME!! ?88.761:- for a E60 520i :'( .
There are 180 % taxes on cars + VAT (25%). :'(

I do now live in Sweden (are Danish) - where we have cars at "real prices" but we are gonna move back to Denmark next summer, and am considering taken our 530dA E60 with my, and then have to pay ?80.000 to "get it on danish plates".

I will se what to do. (love the car!!!)

But just so you know that cars are that expensive in Denmark. But kjell - serious take that M badge of your car

Merry Christmas
