So a little over a year ago when I was looking for a new 2010 E60 I found a 535xi with the M-tech kit and some other options but it was lacking Nav and Logic 7 stereo. So I ended up going with a standard xi sport package without the M-tech kit but it had everything else I wanted, including the aforementioned options above. Today I ordered an OEM m-tech kit - its shipping to the body shop that does all the work for my local BMW dealer, thus beginning the longest 2-3 week wait of my life

Sometime next week I'll drop off the RDsport roof and trunk spoilers for them to install as well. I can't wait!!!

I'm debating on the rear diffuser - platinum gray metallic to match my car, or go with black instead. Considering a CF diffuser as well. Thoughts?

 

Congrats! Can't wait for some pictures. I would keep the diffuser the same color as the car. Some say black, but at night just seems like there is a big hole.

 

LOL. This made me laugh. I have a rep kit and I chose to paint it matte black (on alpine white car). I too have thought it looks odd at night and looks like a big hole. I still prefer it black though. Especially if you have other mods that match (matte black grills, B&W roundels etc).

 

I'd get a quad exhaust and gloss black diffuser to match

 

i cant wait for the photos!

 

Nice car Bronze545 !

 

Black!

OEM M-tech comes with 18mm PDC holes? Trinity has the 18mm LCI rear bumpers now.

 

Congrats Corey! Be sure to post up some pics once done! Thank you again for the tires!

 

Finally!
Looks good, makes the car stand out.

 

I picked up my car last night and everything looks pretty good. The RDSport trunk spoiler doesn't sit completely flat on 1 side - when I press on it there is maybe 1/16" movement. I suspect this to be that the installer pulled the tape too soon for the 20 degree weather we're having. No biggie - I can address this with them during the week. I can't believe how much different the car looks now - like falling in love all over again

The last pic has something white behind the grill at the very bottom - looks like some kind of tube or bar - anyone know what this is for? Can it be painted black?

I know everyone and their mother have the Mtech kit and now I know why Some pics below...
