My Ride: 2005 545i- Titanium Gray
Ok so I recieved my kit from Tony (Quadm) yesterday and I wanted to post some pictures!
I was going to wait for a few weeks til it was totally done but I wanted to share...I have Bilstein PSS10 coilover's coming next week along with Magnaflow custom set up for quads and VIP VR-02 20" Wheels so I will post more in 2 weeks when thats done!
I have never installed a kit before so this was a new experience for me. All in all it took about 6 hours, the front end easily took the longest but mainly because of the lack of good DIY instructions which I should have done to help out but didnt...
I was relieved when I opened the boxes and the paint looked awesome...no scratches during shipping etc.. well packed, and everything was there!
I put on full M-tech kit, trunk finisher and trunk spoiler. So far I have added AFE Intake, CF emblems all around, Blacked out grills, Sprint Booster, AIB V3 upgrade, Black Shadowline Trim. I have a few more things to come as mentioned above but thats right around the corner!
I forgot to add a front before but we all know what they look like.
Thanks and enjoy!

Wow, she's coming together Jake -- looks great! Can't wait to see the wheels on her. 
I slide down to Dallas often, need to meet up for a beer sometime and check out the rides. Let me know if you want to hit that BMW auction also. My friend said he could
probably get you in!

Hey how long ago did you order your m-tech kit? I'm just curious since your join date for the forum was last month. There are many members on here that have been waiting for their kits for months...

group buy or even regular retail to get my kit quickly for timing reasons.
Thanks for looking,
