Flat Eric is back with some new mods
!
Sooo I changed my trusted 530d to a 2006 M5 a week ago
.
Right after Eric had heard about it, I was able to find him sitting in front of computer and browsing eBay
. Now a week has passed and lots of boxes have arrived. Eric wanted to open them all at once yesterday, so nothing was left for me, except the fun of taking pics of his craze.
He thinks he can understand the packing list lol!

Ummmh... Sometimes his enthusiasm goes a little too far, doesn't it?![Ermm](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/ermm.gif)

Hold it even a second so that I can take the pic!

Like kids at christmas time... Not even the dust has settled after the first package and he is already opening the second one.

Then he wanted to have a big cup of coffee from his official BMW cup. That's maybe a bit too big for him --> too much coffeine...

CF kidney grilles... Ok, but I'm not sure if I like those protruding bars

I didn't mean you should tear it apart!

Oh, you're suggesting we could change the bars to standard black ones. I like that.

i always love your threads bro!
where'd you get the CF badges from? i think i need to go that route...esp once i get this trunk done next week...
congrats again on the BEAST. any performance mods in the works? ECU tune? Exhaust? RPI intake, Pulley? ETC? it gets addictive....worse than the regular E60s lol
