Thanks bradah

1) What is included in the Radenergie Power Kit? The Radenergie Power kit consist of Headers, Full exhaust system ( 1,2 and 3) and Tuning but you can opt for headers or exhaust only iirc


2) What suspension are you running? CKS aka Corner Konect System

3) What color did you paint the wheel centers? Look kinda bronzish? Centers are Bronze all custom powder coated by HRE Wheels
4) What hood is that and can we see a top pic of it when it's closed? The Hood is CF and draw the lines i like and Ranz MotorSports cut and custom paint it (I like this hood coz its subtle but have that cool look, I'll see if i can find a close up shots

Thanks for the info Chris. So did you go with the Radenergie tune or Singh?

Also, do you know if Ranz would be able to make a CF hood with just the power bulge like the Vorsteiner one? How's the CF weave and fitment?

Radenergie have their tune but opted to go with Singh Tuning.

As for the hood it fits fine after Ranz worked it , as for the weave its fine but CF shrinks with heat and to get the paint to look bad ass is to re shoot it after a few months of use and let the cf cure, and yes Ranz can do the power dome aswell...im building one off of the aluminum (OEM) hood soon) as weight savings is almost the same as the CF...

Looks amazing. How does that rear diffuser fit? I recently saw one on an M5 at Eurofest and it had some pretty big gaps in certain sections -- I'm thinking it may have been a replica, but I'm sure yours is not.

Car looks awesome...but I have to be honest...I think I liked your E39 M5 more -- is that ok?

PS - You and John Morgan Evans need to get together for a photo shoot.

Fitment was spot on (had to add screw on the back) and yes mine is the legit WALD lol ...best way is to get a shop that have experience with installation and working on Carbon fiber and Fiber glass as sometimes some other brands or parts needs some slight work to make it flush.

Yes LoLa is special hopefully Sabine come up with her soon

here's a pic of them together


Yes John's car is sick hopefully we'll get a shoot soon
