hey i just got an 08 alpine white e60 and i have a little stash of money to spend on it and i want a m5 full conversion.

i know that im going full OEM and i also know that i need front bumper, rear and fenders.

What i want to know is how much does each individual bumper cost and if anyone knows whos selling the OEM bumpers and fenders.

and also some advice on what to do to make it a better alpine white m5 replica

Pics If You Have Them

good luck and make sure that stash of money is refillable lol!! modding is very addicting and fun,
i think you should start off with what wheels and size you want, you have a alpine color car so a good matte black wheels
with a step lip would look hot such as HRE or you can go with the m5 wheels but def powder coat it in black unless you like the
alloy finish that it comes in... that is a good start and gradually you will think of something to work on, this forum is a good source for everything
good luck and have fun

^LOL


You are in NYC. Go to John@Motorcepts. He can order you the parts and also do the paint work. He is very descent with the quotes.

Motorcepts is located in Jamaica, Queens

They will be able to do any modifications necessary to make your OEM fenders and front bumper sit flush.

Also, please, please, please, DO NOT put ///M badges on your car. Leave those to the REAL M cars, shall we?

Full doesn't mean badges, badges turns the conversion into full poser, and makes the owner look like an ass. Leave the badges off.
