My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport Carbon Black Metallic/Cream Beige Manny tranny and other stuff Recently gone, but never forgotten: 2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name) Torch Red/Crimson Manny tranny and every option available for that year 2002 Chrysler 300M Special Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss

While on the subject, what's the difference between the M5 fascia and the M-aero/M-tech fascia? They look identical to me except the M-aero fascia has the foglight kit installed where the M5 fascia has air ducts.

Yeah, I agree - go with mtech: easy and cheaper to install the the M5 optic solution. The saved money could go towards M5 mirrors instead.

then:

- M5 trunk finisher and spoiler
- tint
- possibly M5 mirrors as mentioned above.

good luck with the mods.

...and become an Admin impersonator

I agree with Andy's approach -- get the M-Sport pack as well as the other M5 enhancements. IMHO a set of black grills would also round it off nicely.

I hit them about once a week now. Can't wait to get the 528i valve job complete so I can garage the Blue Monster.

Oh, I am pissed!. Dealer curbed my wheels today. Hopefully they will repair tomorrow. I couldn't believe it. When I got home I was polishing up my wheels and guess what I saw

Now I have pix before taking the car to the dealer (wheels to). I hope my SA doesn't give me hard time. There is also a rock chip on the new windshield they just put in. These things were not there Wednesday when I dropped my car off. I hate the dealers.

+1. you could also go with the mtech front but M5 rear so you have the fogs. imsortofabigdeal (steven) had the M5 front but later changed to the mtech. him and vegastrashed has/had the mtech front and M5 rear. just a suggestion. good luck with the mods

+1 M-tech front bumper with M5 rear bumper

Grrrrrr! I'd be fuming! There's nothing like inconsiderate dealers and employees who don't give a damn about someone else's car they are entrusted with. Good luck, and be glad you took these recent photos!
