Car looks perfect!! How are you liking the Quaife so far? Have you turned the DSC completely off and tried doing donuts yet 
The best test though is taking a turn, keep car in manual mode if you have an automatic, keep it in a lower gear and punch it just as your are coming out of the turn!!! The traction is amazing! Well done once again!

At first, thank you all equally 
!
Yes I have OEM M5 fenders that I installed last fall. I was running mtech front bumper with them, but the fitment wasn't perfect. I got it sit pretty good, but somehow I felt the front end incomplete --> M5 bumper. There would have been cheap M5 replica bumpers available, but I was told they are ment to be fitted with stock fenders, so those wouldn't have helped me.
The wheels are Iconz 830ZRC 9x20 and 10x20. The exhaust manufacturer is FOX Sportauspuff.
Actually they are not tinted, they are like that. Smoked LCI replicas. 
I ordered it from FK Automotive along the rear bumper. The mesh is not specified for this bumper, it's just a bulk part. Here: http://www.fk-shop.de/index.php?cl=d...0&redirected=1
Yes I've done it few times and it's fun 
. I have a manual and I think it can't handle the torque (666Nm / 491 lb fb) and the improved traction so well anymore ... Next "mod" possibly haha!

!looks great!
from the first shot, your car looked like a bronze color!
the fitment looks really good, it seems your fenders are oem m5 as well... allowing you to properly fit a oem m5 front end on there??
however, can i bug you and ask what wheels and exhaust are you running, im really liking your style
