As you can see my car, it is SLAMMED! It's the bumper that makes it slammed. I REALLY love to go to Scott's (sdg1871) driving meets and my Rieger front bumper and side skirts are NOT gonna make it. I just wanna go have fun and enjoy my Bilstein struts and Vogtland Springs cornering those twisties. Scott, I WILL COME WITH MY E60!!!

Option 1:
Make my car look nice and use M5-Style front bumper and side skirts. But I will only use the front bumper possibly 2 or 3 times out of the year. I will spend probably almost $1000 for this which I think is a BIG waste of money.

Option 2:
Get a pre-LCI PDC front bumper for $50-$100. I may have a friend who's using my old pre-LCI ACS front which I can buy his bumper for cheap. I almost GAVE him my kit for almost nothing anyway. Slap on the bumper (dont worry, it's still A08) and remove the Rieger side skirts. I will be riding with NO side skirts and a pre-LCI front bumper and Rieger rear. Yes it's disgusting but I can at least enjoy driving my E60

Option 3:
Drive my friend's E92 335i but it kinda sucks driving ur friend's car since ur scared to push it as hard as you want to.

I think option 1 is best. You have such a nice ride that it'd be a shame to drive it with a stock bumper an no side skirts.

Plus, you can always sell the bumper and side skirts later on and get most of that $1000 back.

Screw you John! You are about to have had the dopest E60 in NYC and now you go fxck your shXt up :thumbsdown:

But yeah, get the M5tech front from Umnitza or a used one and swap those sides too ASAP - they will NOT work with anything other than Rieger. And while you're at it, you'll be needing a new rear as well, cuz, well, you know why
