I've seen the m kit on loads of different E60's except any on a saphire black E60. Has anyone got any pics?

Am I the only one who thinks the M-kit looks tacky and out of place on the E60? The E60 is perfect with just a spoiler and some nice wheels. With the M-kit on, it looks like a Pontiac.

Hmm.. no.. unless you think the M5 looks like a Pontiac also..

On the road it it really stands out as more sporty. I definitly get tons more looks than before!

I will have some pics next in 9 days. I will post them then.

Tacky? Well, everyone gets to have their opinion. You do realize you are in the minority.

I'm also in the minority getting a $9000 audio system shoved into my E60, so it isn't the first time. I still think body add-on kits should be restricted to rice-burners, not mature sports sedans like the 5-series. Perhaps it's because in California I'm exposed to so many hideously modified ricers on the road every day that I've developed an allergy to this sort of thing.

For that exact reason, I am sticking with BMW OEM. You do realize that it is the sport package pretty much everywhere except the US. I completely agree with you when it comes to ACS, and some of the others. The Hamman kit is very nice. Ultimately, I will have a car that is mistaken for the M5 on a regular basis, especially when I add the style 166 wheels.

BMW OEM is not an aftermarket kit.

So in other countries the M-kit comes by default with the sport package?

The sport package is a US package, all the things in it can be chosen in EU too, but separatly and much more expensive... In europe the sport package is the M-Sportpaket and it doesn't include eg. Dynamic Drive.
