pdawg74,

nice wheels bro!! got mine on order, just waiting for arrival. as for modz, i got a freebee for you: remove your charcoal filter above the air filter at the intake.

btw, where in hawaii r u? i noticed the safety check sticker on your bumper. sucks you gotta put that on huh. damn, i miss being in paradise!!

e6t, does removing the charcoal filter add some HPs? I guess the air filter would get dirtier faster?

pdawg, its there for emmision purposes only, and it does restrict airflow a little (not good right?) so it won't hurt. i did mine and so did a number of folks here. i believe e60's overseas dont have this, only in the u.s.

btw, this charcoal filter is after the air filter. sorry got no pics, hopefully someone can chime in and provide one for you

also, if you utilize the search function, you'll get a lot of topics regarding this filter

good luck and great pic bro!

Thanks man. Spacers are just in the rear... personally I think the m5 offset in the front flushes out nicely and doesn't really need any spacers. If you want I could take a profile shot of that.
