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.

Congrats ECF! Am I reading correctly? You are considering RDSport quads?
You should check it out. I agree with you that the exhaust tips look better than the M5 exhaust tips. I think it looks more stylish and aggressive. Also, wait until you hear the sound of RDSport quads on the M5! Either Dinan or RDSport quads, you can't go wrong!

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

The M5 got a nice ass tho
I say the DINAN exhaust is the way to go
but I'm bias..either way its a win win. Very nice ride, I love both your cars, you know how to pick um. I'd love to be able to open my garage and have the two fine automobiles that you have.. Great upgrade

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..
