WOW.. $11K and you still have a LONG ways to go. $5k for those wheels is way to much man, didnt u shop around first? as said above, thats an m-tech front bumper not an M5. so u still need an M5 front bumper, M5 side mirrors, trunk finisher, interior work... then a 545 is going to race you and beat you...
you should of considered the cost of your upgrads vs. the cost of a real preowned M5. i seen them go for $55,000 or so for an 06 and i think you'll pass that once you're done...

===================
...Thanks guys for all your comments so far! I realize it did cost a lot to build this E60 M5 Replica, (by appearance), but I like the M5 looks, and V10 500hp engine, but could not afford the real M5s inusurance and the gas it takes to run that beast M5 at 11city mpg and gas here in GA they say might reach $5.00 a gallon soon. If I had bought the real M5, why Id be passing everthing of the road, all but the gas stations!! (LOL)
Speaking of the REAL M5's with V10 500hp, .I saw an 2006 M5 at yahoo with 33,000 miles in excellent condition just for $51,000.00!! And just to think that same M5 cost 100,000.00 a couple of years ago.

Every since seeing the company in the UK that's builds M5 Replicas on 525i, this has became one of my college class project, and just a fun hobby of mine. Yea I know I need a M5 front bumper and M5 fenders too that gives it an extra approx: 1/2 inch difference from mine, and also get rid of my BMW OEM fog lamps, but everything on the front end by appearance on my 530i is basically the same as the real M5's, but only you, I and a few others know its not the real M5 beast, (LOL), When I get up the money, I will buy that BMW OEM real E60 M5 front bumper and fenders but later, when I can pay cash for it, and not go further in debt on this M5 replica project I am dong for my college class: (in my Project Management Class this semester)!
Meanwhile I will be trying to sell this BMW OEM aerodynamic M front Bumper along with my Left and Right fenders and OEM M5 side gilles at a awesome price, and e60 forum me a favor if you know anyone in the market for one at a great price in Excellent condition, please send them my way. I just sold the rear BMW OEM aerodynamic rear bumper for 250.00, and bought this new real BMW OEM M5 rear bumper for my cost of: $430.00.
