Im on the fence.. with my rear bumper mod..
I definitely want to do a dual exhaust set up soon...
However.. cant decide on the rear bumper set up..
I am 98% positive I dont want to do the OEM m5 rear.. as.. M5 owners deserve that look..
So iwanted to try the Rieger Rear apron that hs the dual exhaust outlets.. and it ties onto the OEM 545i rear..
What are some thoughts? I have never seen it.. done.

If you were to get the Rieger rear. I'd get a front splitter to balance everything. The Rieger kit is lower than OEM kit. So it'll look like the rear is sagging. Might have to get some side skirts too to make it look right.

I'll let you know when mine is done. I have both the M-tech front and the Rieger rear in "carbon look" finish on order now. No sides ordered yet, but definitely will not be doing the Rieger sides though.

Tru5g, where did you find that pic? Any shots of that car from the side? I've always wanted to see what that kit looked like with the mtech sides instead of those hedious Reiger sides...yeah, i'm not a fan! LOL.
Thanks in advance.
