nice project but not feeling the front end.

i would black out the kidneys and change back to oem black mesh on the mouth. i would then add some spacers to push out the m6 wheels

interesting build overall though

DAMN!! Nice car!! I was an ex E60 owner in thailand myself, but very few mods on it. Your car is amazing. Your brother's car is also one of a kind. AWESOME!! Knowing how much things cost in Thailand, your car must've been a fortune, the "5" license plate alone could probably buy a car in the US!!
Sorry been busy lately, didn't get a chance to reply..

We certainly got the short end of the stick in terms of price, but the labor cost is cheap which help with the mods. Anyhow, The plate doesnt cost that much, its more of knowing the right place to get it....

Really? Thats cool!! What did it cost you for the "5" license plate? PM me if you don't mind me asking. I wanna get something like that too, but it cost somewhere in the hundreds of thousands zone.

BTW, Where did you go for the LCI lights retrofits? So far, I'm being charged 230,000 for the complete set, headlights, tail lights, new light module, wires. But I'm hearing different stories from different people. Can you give me some details on how you did yours? Most imporantly, where? Thanks.
