Yes, and I have had so much fun while doing these mods and learning stuff about e60 "life" .. especially L7 retrofit was fun project; take the whole interior off, add over 40mm cabel, and find out how those fiber optic things are working with CCC and so on..
Ok.. of course "m5 swap" was all so fun to do, try to search used parts, and firstly find out what all parts I need etc... painting was only thing which I didn't do by my self.

I would, but I don't know him.. I just parked next to his car and take a picture

the whole story started on these wheels. Because they did not fit anymore the standard fenders .. I had to think up something..

Thanks, I like them too!
About speakers.. it´s hard to say, because i did have just standard "hifi" before this retrofit.. so I can't compare it to L7 speakers.. But what I have read, people are saying it´s worth of every penny.

Do you have to cut anything to get the M5 front bumper installed?

Lot of hard work put into your ride and it shows, congrats!

I really want to do the M5 vents on my fenders, but my GF tells me not to. I don't plan on making my ride look like an M5 like yours is but I really like the way they look. I guess it would look kind of tacky with the M5tech front and Mtech rear lol oh well!

I think there no cutting because he have M5 fender on it. You need cutting when you have stock fenders with m5 bumber..

However, I'm not sure if you are talking about the cutting the inner fender which is needed when changing from a standard bumper to an mtech bumper?
