Not intense just passionate about my ride. Everytime I press the ignition I can't wipe the smile off my face. The tips are an option on the meisterschaft exhaust. Thanks to all

This is directly to M5 owners.
I was just wondering what you guys think of other people that have 5ers and have the m5 kits on their cars...
Do you look at them and laugh?
Do you appreciate the love and care that they have put into their cars?
Are you complimented?
oh and im not a fan of the m5 badges on non m5 cars just an FYI

BUT when you start to do the fender and even worse the M5 badge.....that's where it gets a bit "poser"!
i personally love the M5 mirrors, which is why i got them.....but not to pretend i have an M5! so much so, i still rock my 518i badge!

Don't bother, all the 325i drivers will look down at you for trying to replicate their car
In Germany, where understatement is more popular, you see smaller engine badges on higher performance cars, e.g. a TDi (Turbo Diesel) badge on an Audi RS4 or 318d on a 335d. I can see the amusement factor when you put the pedal down, but not my taste and I think it's also rubbing it in other peoples faces to a certain extent who can only afford the car your effectively joking about.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery or so the saying goes. I personally don't own an M5 (maybe some day). The only item from an M5 I would like to add to my car are the mirrors. Rebadging is heresy IMO.

yup, a buddy of mine was able to order them separately for roughly $500 a set. i'm still on the fence about them, gotta check 'em out in person.

personally, i think m5 kit, mirrors, spoilers are all good on a non M.

). I personally preferred the M5 front compared to the M-tec because it just looks more symmetrical and beautiful. I love my car.. it looks pretty similar to an M5 BUT as said before by Pgetsch, "we do it more for style and not to imitate the "m".
