theres no bads about it.. according to my mech... it fits perfectly... it looked just like the real M5..theres many fake M5s running around singapore that looks exactly like real.. exterior and interior... i dont know them personally but the guy installed it told me its all fine...

maybe u can ask at our local forum... www.bmw-sg.com if u need anymore info

anyway heres some of the mods that we have here to make normal e60 look like the M5 :

1.original M5 front fender and frt bumper and rear bumper
2.trunk finisher and spoiler
3.interior aluminium trims and M5 steering with paddleshift
4.M5 gear knob working and with lights
5.M5 seats,M5 mirror, custom quads exhaust and OEM side window trimmings
6.original/replica M5 rims and real OEM M5 brakes

basically everything can be changed except instrument cluster

heard some feedback of the M5 brakes..they say it works damn good... i saw those brake disc and pads..ITS DAMN HUGE... some feedbacks said that in high speed braking.. its awesome

I don't think anyone was trying to make fun of quad_m. Everyone knows Tony's a good guy. Most of us were just asking for clarification of his original post because "sponsorship " in most instances means the product is free, so most of us were just asking for confirmation.

I, for one, do appreciate what quad_m is trying to do for us.
the content of sponsorship only depends on what the parties have agreed in the contract

so yes some misunderstood Tony, and yes was not nice, giving away a car and give me a fake m5 rear etc...

thx no probs Tony is nicer than getting upset.

PS: these sponsoring for free I have only heared in the USA so far here in EU nothing is for free!!!

you can have stickers advs you get reduction not a GIFT!

Wow its good to go then! lets make some other researches as well before jumping the gun..
thats why I wanted to do this with someone from here but you already gave me the feedback!
anyways my offer still stands for one member willing to participate and give us the whole story..

for me the brakes are as much as beautiful and strong as Brembos etc..
unbelieveable braking power and massive calipers do I have to say more?
