Hello Forum Members:

With so many different MODs I can buy for my 5, I find myself researching different MODs and getting confused on what I should do next. I guess this is a case of "Too much analysis causes paralysis". Thus I am opening my dilemma to the forum for some opinions and insight.

What MODs should I purchase for around $500 +/- $200 on a 2008 LCI E60?

I already have Miro 111s, H&R Sport Springs, LED Side Markers, 6W AEs, LED License Plate Lights, Black Matte Grill & Shadowline trim, Coding via Simon, RPI Scoop, BMC filter, and Carbon Delete.

Even though the Msport Kit's looks are tight, I kinda like my LCI front bumper, sides, and rear, but I am willing to change it. I'm currently on stock sport suspension shocks with my H&R springs (had them a month for about 800 miles), so I would like to replace them with Bilsteins or Konis.

Thanks in advance for your input. I really appreciate your insight.

This is what I am working with so far.

Has anyone seen a picture of an E60 that just has the front Mtech/replica bumper with the stock LCI sides and rear?
