Great job, great car. Just one question. As the price difference between the 550i and the M5 is not big why didn't you buy an M5?

I cannot afford M5. From fuel consumption to car payment. It's another $20K on top of it.
In this mod:
OEM 166 wheel + tires $1700
M5 front bumper: $300
M5 side skirt and rear bumper + painting = $1100
M5 mirror $1000
Paddle shifters + knobs = $2000
Bribing wife to get approval = $500

Not much, right?

It is nice copy mate Of course I like the car however then with time finish it, get the side gills in the fenders+ rear bumper with true QUADS , or the fenders from quad the best price avail.

Change the steering wheel as the sport titan insert is N/A for M5 e60. Then get the V10 too sorry could not resist and just a joke. Congrats on your project, did you harm your warranty with all these mods...

If I have to spend money on quad-tip exhaust, Hamann is the top of my list. I'd go to you as our best Hamann resource here.
I just got a call from Dinan Engineer to bring my car in tomorrow morning for Dinan Sponsored Free Flow Exhaust installation in return for my car was guinea pig for the project. I'm too excited. Cannot wait

I'm thinking how to make a quad out of Dinan's one.

For steering wheel insert, some how I like the sport titan one I had ///M one before, but I took it out.
For V10, cannot find one available on US eBay.

If I had to buy front fenders, I'd go to Tony AKA quad_m.

Do I miss anything? Oh, asking for promotion in my M5 poser company after I got quad installed
