Damn, car is lookin' good! My fears are getting closer to being confirmed with the Hamann splitter and those up close ground shots of the clearance
I wonder how feasible it is driving around with this setup without pre-planning your route to avoid all those ridiculous 'road imperfections' in SoCal.

The splitter is low to the ground, and it does take some careful manouvering into driveways. I have found myself taking different routes on streets to avoid certain dips...I love the aggressive look, so I think its worth it. ![Devil](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/devil.gif)

I'm contemplating if I should just have quad_m (Tony) add the splitter to my M-Tech order while he's at it, but damn on a black E60, it doesn't look complete without it...Can you get a foot under the front or corner of the splitter about halfway? Not counting if you have a big ass gorilla sized foot of course ![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)

have you looked in to Vorsteiner, they make some good quality product for the E60

Gents,
After months of waiting (it was worth the wait) here are a few pics of my new mods.
Special thanks to Quad M for the Hamann Splitter and Diffuser. Tony was great to deal
with and is a real pro...Peanut @ Carrozzeria Design for the RD quads, & AAA muffler for
the exhaust install. When I get a chance I will post a sound clip of the exhaust...
I have to say it sounds really nice, and is my favorite mod so far. I had to use my phone
for the pics, so excuse the clarity.

Next is RDSport headers, RDSport race cats, remap, RDSport roof spoiler and R54 motor conversion, right?

Thanks for letting me drive your beast that day...I was sold on the exhaust after that ride! Im going to wait on the headers and cats...until I see them on your ride

Black525i:
I live on Olive...i think Ive seen your ride, around the mall maybe?
alpinewhite:
I had F1 motorsports install the splitter. There are 10 bolts, they put the car up and took about 45 minutes. I would have a pro do it, although it didnt look all that difficult.
