The front spoiler is basically an ///M5 spoiler with the different grill/grating inside the air dam. In my honest opinion, I feel it is too "busy". However the lower side lips do give it a bit more agressive of a look to an already aggresive looking front end. The side skirts and rear end are OK, and I love the way some new auto tuners & manufacturers are finally putting some design emphasis on exhausts/exhaust tips.

Looks good except that the grill at the air damp gives it the Peugeot treatment which is bad.

That front lip would last about a week before being ripped off on a speedbump or a curb.

What is the exhaust like? I have been looking at doing a dual-quad system. I like the sound of the Hamann but did not like the way they routed the pipes.

My BMW Service Director who seems to pretty pretty knowledgeable and is linked with Dinan has said that the only exhaust muffler that properly flows is the ACS.

Personally, I like the round tips, but whats your opinion of the exhaust routing, sound and performance.
