How about the Lumma Style (non wide body) front bumper

http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=76510&hl=

that with some M tech sides would be good to go...but if you get a kit, lowering is a necessity so coilovers or springs will have be purchased as well.....you can't have a kit on non sport suspension IMO

a drop (without a/the) kit would be my second vote...

or exhaust. Not really into performace mods on my 530. If i had a fast car, any v8 bimmer i would do it. But modding a inline 6 just doesnt seem to be worth it for me. If i wanted a fast car i should of bought one. Thanks for the suggestions though.

I know these things look amazing but at that point it would drive me crazy to do just one. The drop and the kit conversion would be easily 4k. most likely around 5. So unless santa just drops off a package with all that then i wont be able to do it.

I going to get a quote for sub install today, i dont consider this a mod really. Spoiler will be here tomorrow. I think the next big one will be a drop and some rotors.

Id say save for suspension? But thats just me, as its what I want next (and we have a similar mods as of now). Also, I would definitely recommend a sub (or subs). I installed 2 12" of moderate power and love it.

sub is getting done tomorrow.

infinity kappa perfect 12in 400 watts rms 1600 peak.
jbl gt0601.1 452 rms.

kicker amp wiring kit.
1.1 cubic foot sealed box.

this will be enough to sound GREAT but not to annoy anyone and be shaking the shit out of my car
