Fixed, but I'm not proud about it because he's better looking than I am.

Yeah, I've been talking to Eric Bateman at Dinan. Should be ordering the Stage 2 suspension soon. I'm still debating if I should just get the exhaust and differential at the same time but damn, that's a lot of money to dump at one sitting. I've also been looking at the RDSport exhaust because I like their tips.
But I think I'm a Dinan guy at heart. This is going to drive me nuts...
In the meantime, I'll move my R10s over along with the Dinan strut braces and pedals and european headlights. I have about 3 weeks to do what I can to the M5 before Bimmerfest.![Cool](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)

Congrats ECF! Am I reading correctly? You are considering RDSport quads?

That RDSport M5 sure looks mean. I've been checking out their M5 parts. They're the only ones I know right now that offers coilovers for the M5 but it's $4K. YIKES!!!
Why can't I just be content with what I have? hahaha

Unfortunately I won't be able to keep both. hahaha
I'm also partial to the Dinan exhaust but I just wished they had some chrome tips that would stand out a bit more. Then again, their tips are pretty huge for the M5...3.5"!! I also like them because they're not tooo loud. I love the look of the Meisterschaft exhaust with carbon fiber tips but they're pretty loud. I can't see that on a four door sedan but I know they're the rage for most M5 owners..
