Dont know what to do at this point i just got my quads for my 05'545i, my m-tech rear bumper is ready, but now im thinking about it twice if I should go for it or not? Is it worth it putting quads on my car? by the way I got B&B quads 3.5" diam.

If i decide not to put this on would anyone be iterested in buying all of this verything is brand new, my m-tech bumper is not painted yet!

Quads at this point from my experience and from everyone here, for a Non-M E60, is just for looks / sound. For performance wise, stay with single sided exhaust and possibly go with RPI, which will help increase HP.

Its entirely up to you at this point. If you want looks and want a great appearance, go for Quads. If you dont want to lose power, and want simple looks, stay with single sided exhaust and Mtech.


Good luck with your decision and I'm sure it'll be well worth it and if you want lighting mods... Dont forget, you're in NY area and you've got one of the top vendors to get lighting mods.. and if you ever need other lighting mods, (Eyebrow, Orion V2 Angel eyes, Euro Headlight, M5 Cluster, LCI rear turn signal), Let me know.

if you want the looks, do it. if you're doing it for performance, don't. i think you should do it. looks way better.
