umm I see......... yea I checked eisenmann's website... that iceman exhaust is $3500

anyways couple more questions

Is it better to trade in, or sell my car then go buy the m5?

Is it better if I sell my rims separately and sell the car with the stock 18" rims?

which way can I get the most $ out of my current car?
Terry,
The Eisenmann exhaust for the regular e60 is about $1.2K. ICEMAN316's exhaust is actually a Eisenmann M5 Race exhaust that he fitted onto his 550i. He bought it used and is only using the left side. The right tips are actually dummy. I would not advise to go in this direction b/c he's got too much back pressure. He's got the SLOWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTT 550i around.

Definitely, part out your mods. You'll get more money that way and then sell your stock car to a private party. If that doesn't work, trade it in.

It is GOOD to install the Eisenmann M5 Race exhaust on a M5, not a 550i.

"few Mods I want on my M5 if i'm getting one
1. lowering the car
2. set of new maya DLS with correct offset (wont be stupid and go too wide like right now)
3. eisenmann exhaust
4. a hot girl on the passenger side"

Number 4 on your list usually runs 300-600 per hour. You do the math!!!!!! LMAOOOOOO

I don't think so. I think the LCI eyes are halogen and not LED. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
