hi guys,
i have a 525i, it has standard everything!
right now the only things that stands out are probably the 124 style wheels and m5 lip spoiler that i have added since i purchased the car.

i am thinking getting either the m5 replica body kit (made from highquality PU) or the koni FSD adjustables with eibach pro kit springs.
the bodykit is a tiny bit cheaper than the suspensions for the quote i got for both, what do you guys think i should get?

thanks!

The m5 kit would look sweet, but have you considered the AC kit? still looks good but a lot cheaper, might have enough ?'s left over for suspension?

If you do have your heart set on the M5 kit, then I would get that first. It will make more of a difference to the car than lowering it.

The FSD-s arent adjustable, they adjust themselves when needed, see koni website. Really good technology IMO. If you often do track days etc. where you need the best handling and the same level of absorption all the time etc. the koni sports are a little better, but if you want comfortability and pretty sporty ride, the FSD is the best.
