OK, so I just luckily acquired $4000 dollars and looking to mod extensively!!!! I already have on order reiger rear spoiler, front and rear mtech, sprintbooster, v1 hardwired, navandtv2go unit with i-drive control and angel brights. Now... I want to get acs front splitters, acs rear diffuser, go quads!!!!, m5 replica mirrors, AFE CA Intake, and thats all I can think of. One question is, does the trunk finisher make that much of a difference on appearance? What about the roof spoiler? Anything else that I should do, I was thinking about adding screens to the headrest, but I try not to let people sit in my car so it would be just a waste of money IMHO. Any and allsuggestions are appreciated. Thanks guys.

NICE! I'd be excited as heck also. Can you tell me how I can also luckily acquire $4K to spend on mods?

I noticed you put ACS diffuser and that you want quads. You should know that the standard ACS diffuser does not accommodate quad exhausts but I believe EuroRev has custom made ones.

And IMO, you should get the roof spoiler and trunk finisher as well.

a close friend of mine has an older m5 and has 19 inch rims that have a polished lip and are gunmetal. That is all I know. He is basically giving them to me so once I find out what brand and all, I will post it. I have seen the rims and they look very nice. I have to wait until December or January to acquire those rims though, since he ordered some new ones. Also, the money...that was just through good investments. The acs rear diffuser is awesome for quad exhaust, I think member fantastic5 has it and you are right, eurorev did do a custom quad for his car. I really don't want to waste the money on a trunk finisher and roof spoiler when those are very subtle mods. Is it that noticeable to have a roof spoiler and a trunk finisher? It seems like too small of an appearance boost for the money. Any other ideas would be great.

By older M5 do you mean the E39 M5?

As for the roof spoiler and the trunk lid finisher, I think the roof spoiler definitely stands out more but as for improvement in look, that'll boil down to personal opinion. I certainly think it looks good with it on.

Honestly, the BEST mod you can do for your car is to get some 20" wheels with lip. Start there and everything else will fall into place. Also, I'm pretty sure that E39 wheels won't fit e60s.

I agree with VT. Wheels make the most dramatic difference; then body kit.
