Can't wait to get this baby lowered, get the exterior mods added and get that damn license plate off the front and the bumper sprayed. I am probably having the Vorsteiner flippers molded into the bumper at that time too.

Like I said, with the Eurocharged tune she FLIES already so now it's looks and sound.

Just installed RPI scoops and Eurocharged tune. Went out for first drive with tune, stomped on the gas from dead stop and I swear it would have burned the tires completely off if I hadn't let off the gas. Spins 2nd hard and barks 3rd. :-)

Will post more pics once properly modded.
Told you it was a beast of a car. Its absolutely amazing, I'm stuck on believing it was and still is the most visceral 4 door car ever built. The F10 car is faster no question about it, but this car is just extremely engaging. I drove one for almost 3 years, trust me, I know.

OK, so some of the widebody/flared M5's on this board are SICK, I give credit where its due. They're a little over the top for me though. You on the other hand. . . you're on route to having the baddest looking M5 in my opinion. If I had one, this is exactly how I'd mod it.

Running this with the car in 500 Sport mode you cannot imagine how fast it shifts. As good of a driver as I believe that I am, I could never shift as fast as the SMG. That is what it is designed for and why it was copied from F1 cars. LOVE IT!

And I didn't trade anything. I still have the 550i. (I am half-heartedly trying to sell it. I love that car)
Amazing looking car. I had a totally different experience with the SMG in the 08 M5 I test drove before I bought the 09 550 6MT. I couldnt get the thing to shift worth a damm. Even had the service manager drive along with me. Under normal driving the hesitation between shifts was so severe it would jerk your head when changing. If you had your foot to the floor it seemed to shift better, but who can drive like that all the time. Maybe just a bad example but I wasnt cool with that.

So I settled for this...... :-)

Thank you VERY MUCH! I prefer the more OEM look with a nice flair as well. Only thing I am considering that may be a little "much" for my taste is this M3 rep hood. It is VERY nice but I have not seen one in person to determine if it will keep the flow of the lines the same.
