Oops! 
In that case we definitely need this topic here in the E60 5 series section. So this is what I want for 2009:
I would like to get the 550i look with the M Sport Package (including the aerodynamic kit). So I guess I need:
- M Aerodynamic kit (M tech kit)
- 19" OEM 550i rims with OEM tires
- OEM Sport suspension? ..or do you guys recommend something else for better handling?
- Front swaybar
- Rear swaybar
- Front tower bar (will this make a difference in handling?)
- Shadowline trim

for the OEM sport suspension...don't think you want or could retrofit that...I would suggest some springs, coil overs and sway bars...
have a read thru this thread...
http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=68313
like the mod list tho
Might want to get some axxis brake pads, or low dust brake pads...those 172's will be a PITA to keep clean with OEM pads...
