i have a silver gray 530i and i'm planning to do some exterior moddings....

first of all, i will be getting the bodykit and the exhausts at the same time to match them up with the quad exhaust i'm planning to get (530i RDSport Quad [no dummies]...i have to call them up to make sure)

anyways, there are two options that i could do...
one is, get the M-Kit with either M5 rear or custom diffusers for quad exhausts..and add on the AC add-on kit later for beastier look (lol)

OR

get the ACS 5 kit with custom rear bumpers...

i've been really goin on and off on both styles and looks....
ACS looked quite NICE on a black 5 series but M Kit looked pretty nice too on a silver gray model...
i can't decide!!!
help me out guys....

thanks!

I just thought the ACS rear apron was a little bit too busy so I went with the M Tech Kit which was also significantly cheaper.

My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!

If I were getting the RDS quad exhaust, I'd get the RDS bodykit to match. I think it looks awesome!

I don't like that ACS 5 that much and I think the M Kit looks like a M5 wannabe, but out of those 2 choices, I guess I'd have to go with the M Kit (with ACS splitters).

IMHO definitely the M tech.
ACS is very very cheap and cheesy looking. They should not be allowed to do stuff for BMW.... more like some Hiunday tunning
