Looks great.
This is something i'll do down the road once Mtech is completed.
Only 1 suggestion tho.
Lose the M5 badge.

Looks good. But why would this mod go before anything else like wheels, mtech, etc...? I think if you're going to do the fender grills you might as well go all the way with a M5 aero kit. THe grills look like they don't belong on the car if it doesnt have the matching aggressive look of the M5. But that's just my 2 cents.

My Ride: 2005 545i Sport Package Limo Tinted, Heads up display, Fully Loaded Minus Cold Weather Package and Rear window Sunshades.

And in case you wanted to know. I have full intentions of going ALL the way. This was the start, and cheapest mod i've done yet besides RPI scoop. Not only that but Hiepsta lives deep in Socal, and I just happened to be in town to stop by last week
Getting the M5 Bumper, RDSport Quad Exhaust, Trunk Finisher, RDSport Trunk Lip All together at the end of the month.
