Looks fantastic. The skirts do make a huge difference!
They really do. I mean, from a distance on an angle or even directly from the side it is SO distinctly visible. To me it just "finishes" the look of the car. Just to show you how brilliant BMW's designers are you can see how the M-tech side skirt uses natural light to form the look of the skirt. Its like this arch of light that hits the skirt and creates this beautiful line across the car. Its just so artistic. All of the lines on the E60 use light to create crisp lines across the car. Its an amazing design.

The sides fit really well with the ACS front lip! amazing!
It surprisingly does. The other thing I actually LIKE is the stock rear bumper especially when it is combined with the M-tech side skirt. The reason is in this illustration below.... Notice the distinct curve of the light reflecting off the rear OEM bumper AND the Mtech sides? They are almost identical. When you look at the car from an angle like that they both look like they are meant to be. I love it!

I like how that lip works with the sideskirts.

IMHO I'm not particularly a fan of the ACS lip or that rear spoiler, but in combination with the side skirts and standard bumper the whole combination looks just spot on -- great choice of well balanced mods! Nice to see it all come together
