Man, we've come a long way haven't we? Here's a recap of mods thus far chronicled in this build thread....

  • EuroCharged ECU flash - +25whp & 21Wtrq
  • Murdered MFEST out BMW badges (thanks to member devildawg!)
  • H&R lowering springs
  • RPI intake - Painted Corvette Velocity Yellow
  • OEM Brakes Painted Corvette Velocity Yellow w/ custom BMW Motorsport decals (cleared)
  • Sprint Booster
  • Gloss black grills (front & side)
  • gloss black M5 wheels (refinished them myself)
  • alpine r-type 12s
  • LCI tails (euro version)
  • Ricky brake effect via OEM retrofit cables ($35) and some master work by member Simon)
  • Charcoal filter delete
  • OEM iPod integration (i got a crazy deal on a used one over on m5board)
  • Orion V2 install and ehssan blackout method
  • MTech V2 LED AEs - left em in...why not? lol
  • CF Vented hood - OEM E92 replica
  • OEM E92 M3 Honeycomb grills for the CF hood
  • front lip splitter - recently removed
  • Side skirt extensions - currently removed....still working to get version 2.0 fabricated
  • Full Matte Anthracite Metallic Vinyl Wrap
  • CF Pattern Vinyl wrap on the interior match with some gloss black elements
  • StopTech Stainless Steel brake lines
  • RPI Pulley
  • H&R 20mm spacers front....RS Technik 18mm spacers rear
  • LCI Headlights - just need to be installed...maybe this coming wknd?
  • Car Coding via Simon: pathway lighting, digital speedo on the dash, turn signals in the HUD, traffic updates, folding mirrors via keyfob, double blink hazard lights, triple blink abs brake warning, im sure im forgetting some lol (Simon's the man btw)


Dont worry, we still have a lot more work to do...and no it wont be too much. still need: tint, exhaust work, custom wheels, CIC, LCI headlight install, CF steering wheel swap w/ the flat bottom, maybe a Brembo big brake kit, comfort headrest (the ones with the wrap around cushion), possibly a full color change (still thinking) ....and a top secret project currently in the works that would be a first ever on a E60....yep, a first ever.
