Nice job
The exhaust mods look great, how much exhaust noise have you noticed, and or performance gains?
The M front looks nice not sure about the kidneys
Looks like it means business

SO happy that finally they could fix your diffuser, you see I told you it was the mesh. IMO this mesh does not suit the elegant rear of the E60, but 1st its different taste, 2nd you car

in sum up your car still gets an...:

Just tell me why ACS trunk spoiler , the wheels look clean and makes it DUB

any exhausts except real M engines gives you max 5kW gain.

Nice, did the wheels make the car look taller even though you have springs?
My wife's 525 looks taller w/ 20's over stock even though we have springs too.
