Thanks for the nice feedback guys. I am very pleased with this upgrade, so the next thing that should happen is high-gloss shadow line, 19 "winter and H & R sport springs ..

I think can live with a setup like this to the summer..

Don't you worry about putting shorter springs on fairly used shocks? After all the car is 2004 and for sure it has some km on the clock. I've read that shocks of higher mileage cars don't get well together with shorter springs. People claim it kills the shocks

No, I'm not worried about it. Did this on my previous E39, E61, and several types unless there was some problems of this. Anyway. If it turns out that it is not ideal, it is just to buy new shocks. I do not want to get rid of Dynamic Drive so it remains the standard dampers with H & R springs. I think it is a nice combination ..

Can you tell me the part number for this exhaust tips? Did you cut them off? I have pipes that point to the ground and want pipes like you have.

Kind regards

I'm sorry, but i don't have part numbers of the Eisenmann exhaust tip. I work in BMW in Norway and ordered it by my job.

I just ordered high gloss satin chrome. I can't wait for this transformation..

Just took some pictures of she;













And how it should look like after some few more mods

Update! 20 "summer was put on a couple of weeks ago and lowering kit was installed the other day. I went to H & R 35/35 and this is in my view a perfect combination. Running with 255/30 ZR20 front and 305/25 ZR20 rear. . Comments and suggestions?

Wow, it looks great!
If you are an anti-chrome guy, i suggest shadow line and black front grills, will make it look cleaner.

And by the way, how much were the M5 side mirrors?
