My Ride: 06 (Oct. prod.) 530i Titanium Silver / Black Leather - prem. pkg., step,nav,park dist,comf seats,xenon, push start, comf accs, rear fold seats...can't remember anymore...
Mods: Radenergie R-10's 20x 9,20x 10 Mich PS2 tires 245/35fr 285/30rr, Eibach prokit springs, AC Schnitzer front lip, ACS side skirts, ACS exhaust, ACS silver carbon interior and Hamann rear trunk spoiler...to be cont.
i have a 2006 530i titanium silver and i bought an ACS front lip and side skirts w/ radenergie r10 20". my question is do i send back the acs front lip and replace it with a real m5 front lip (yes i would have to replace fenders too...i would fill in side grille to not be a poser...and no im not crazy about m//tech bumper i prefer the real m5 ) or do i just stick with acs?
forgot to write i would be adding on the hartge lip to the m5 bumper

I think either option would look cool but seems more work to switch to the real M5 stuff.

Seems like a lot of expense for not a whole lot of difference. The only difference I have been able to see is that the front fenders have more flair - which is cool.
Personally, here is my two cents worth. It is one thing to add a different trim panel that is painted to match, hard to tell the difference between a front or rear lip. No matter how good the paint shop is, I would question whether they can have an exact match on the paint where it does not look like the fenders have been painted to a perceptive eye - especially silver. I would hate that.
Have you checked into the cost - two new fendors and the front apron and ??? I would imagine there are some other parts like the plastic covers inside the wheel wells. My guess is you are talking about a $5k mod.
