I am deliberating on which tuner to use to fully customize my E60 when it arrives.

I am Doing the Front Aero Section, Floormats, Pedals, Carbon interior, Wheels, Mufflers and all the Exterior Badging.


My Choices


AC Schnictzer
Hamman

ALPINA
HARTGE

I am leaning towards Alpina and HArtge since it is so rare you see these cars full tweeked with all the componets not just the wheels.

AC is like all over the place just like AMG is to Mercedes, I want to create a Unique mark!


Opinions Please.

Well I dunno I mean ya if you do see a tweeked BMW it will most likely be by AC Schnitzer but how often do you see them? personally for the E60 I like the hamann kit...(thus my name..) but I don't like their rear skirt so I would get all hamann and an AC Schnitzer rear lip... though the daul exhaust is quite sexy...

Alpina is super rare..but rather hard to get in North America compared to other tuners.

Yeah I want to be totally different since these E60 are all over the place


I think Alpina is kinda exclusive, still wondering how they joined BWM to produce factory tuned cars?

AC is played out

Front bumper/add-on = ACS or Hamann
Floormats = BMW or custom
Pedals = ACS or Hamann replicas on ebay
carbon interior = acs has the only one availabe at the moment AFAIK
wheels = ACS type IV, IForged, HRE
Mufflers = Eisenmann race
exterior badging = none
cold air intake = gruppeM when available
software/chip = ??

Also, some brands may be common on the forums, but in everyday life most 5ers you see will be stock. So even brands such as schnitzer will be pretty unique.
