Seems like a ton of work went into getting a non-M to look like an M. Me? I'm lazy, I would've just gotten the M, it's easier. Sorry, not a poser fan, there is a poser thread though (and they may have just found their new VP)

Keep the "M5" badge and add the "DINAN" on the opposite side. If you're going to pose (or pimp), you might as well go all the way.
I agree. Might as well get the M5 exhaust because from the rear, I can tell it's not an M. Definitely gotta change the headlights. But the bumpers and paint looks excellent.
I wold lose the M5 badge.

You've done some very nice mods. There's nothing wrong with adding M5 goodies: wheels, spoilers, i-Drive knobs, etc., IMHO. I will join the chorus regarding the badge delete, however.
