WOW!!! I love the setup, the Rieger kit looks great in black. Too bad I've already committed to going the m-tech route. 
The wheels look great too, enjoy!!! Post more pics when you get the exhaust finished up.
Oh yeah I love the models too!!

Please don't take offense your car looks great but it is not a DINAN series car. In order to earn the DINAN badge you must accumulate 10 points and the points are based on the level of performance to the vehicle. That throttle body is 2 points so all you need is the intake(2 pts), software(2 pts), exhaust (3 pts) and strut brace (2 pts) to properly call your ride a DINAN 5.
The reason why this may be a bother some folks is that guys like Freedom, EuroCarFan and Roleez spent $$,$$$ to have a Dinan 5 that represnts a certain levelof engine/suspension performance.
I have a few Dinan Parts like Software, exhaust and throttle body but they say I have not earned my badge yet and I used to be Dinan's top sales manager!!!!
Thats all for me.

She may have given you an old emblem for the E39. The new emblem for the E60 is spaced differently and it comes pre-spaced and you just apply the whole thing and remove. You don't apply individual letters. This might sound crazy but the one for the E60 was "under development" for over a year. I had earned my points a long time ago and didn't get my badge until almost a year later. haha
Also, thanks for the offer on PM but I did have the original emblem from Dinan and I've actually sold that car. JetBlack is also selling his 550. IMO part of the fun and excitement is in earning the points and becoming a Dinan registered vehicle. It's just not the same to go out and buy the emblem, real or not.
Anyway, off topic but you should check out the Meet & Greet subforum. The SoCal guys are always getting together every now and then and I'm sure they would love to see your car.
