Okay so I finally got my M-Tech kit last week and I spent the better part of my Saturday putting it all together. Everything went together nicely (after a couple tries of course) thanks Tony for making it happen, the car looks amazingly better with this kit. I hate to admit it, but the normal E60 front bumper looks like grandma's car, haha. Sorry if I offended any Grandma's on here!

Anyhow I found a nice shade tree today and thought Id share some photos with my friends on here. Im sure this is nothing new, but Im stoked about it! Anyhow enjoy, next on my list is the ACS spoiler in the garage....probably gonna take it to the body shop this week.

Looks awesome! I like that silver color. Did you lower your car?

Where is the rear m bumper?

Looks great! Now it's time to do something with the rear... How about the M5 rear with quads?

Yes the car is lowered (Eibach Pro) it really tucks the 19"s just right. As for the rear I left it off in the mean time as i dont know whether I want to do quad exhaust, or ad a reiger bumper or not. As for now Im in no hurry on the rear, as you'll notice the M side skirts fin outward and so does the bottom of the stock bumper, so I think for the untrained eye, it looks like they go together. IMHO

I think the stock rear fits in nicely with M-Tech side skirts. Actually I considered this option too when I was ordering my M-Tech kit.
So you're having Eibach Pro... With stock shock absorbers? Asking because considering the same springs!

agreed, they do go together well. but still i say you add the m-tech + rd sport or acs diffuser + quad
it does look great as is though. either choice its gonna look sick

No upgrade on the shocks at this time, since my car already has the sport package the stock shocks should be able to handle the load. Dont quote me on this, but I am sure that sport package cars have better shocks then non-sports. Had I gone with the "sport line" eibachs or something lower then I would have upgraded my shocks.

For now just the stock, and no issues thus far.
