Besides making your 545 appear to be an M5 - which I dont agree with but thats your personal choice - this mod looks all wrong to me. Even from the pictures you can tell that they are stuck-on and not real vents. You car looks extremely good without the "vents", why detract from the look with something so fake ?
Top marks for creative thinking though !

If they really have no function -as no fender cutouts - than it is cosmetics it is up to you if you feel better w those or not....?

Like I saw, after desassembly it, I really think that the OEM air vents are more cosmetic than functionaly. The main function is to give the M signature to the cars.
But what I really like are your comments

Alex - do you like them? Do you think they add to your enjoyment of YOUR car? Leave them on.. Opinions are like Belly Buttons - everyone has one. But if YOU think they look cheesy, take them off.
A friend of mine told me many years ago "if you have to question something in your mind, that something is not all right". That's your common sense talking to you. Listen to it.
Last thing, I'm almost convinced the an E60 MUST BE silver. It looks so long and elegant and with so much contrast between the paint and all the black parts. The dark colors - especially the black - though still stunning, makes it all blend into one undefined blob.
The one comment I have is from your pictures - especially the third one down, the "vent" looks like it's not parallel with the fender crease. It looks a little lower in the back. Is that a photo illusion?
