M3This' E61 Touring
I have H&R springs on the front of my wagon, and I hate them.

Nice looking project you've got going!
About the Cobb tune, it seems their tune for the 535 produces quite a bit less power than for the 335. Have you looked into it? The Procede, which is another big tune on E90Post (a piggyback though, not a flash) apparently has the same maps for both cars.
Take a look at this guy's post:
19% bump in HP vs. 30% bump for 335's

I prefer the Dinan stage 2 both for total output (highest reliable hp/ft-lb from what I've read) and that it's still keeps my car under full warranty. Although, with the mileage I'm doing, that won't last long.

Hey guys does anyone know anyone on here that has done the M5 Fender Conversion???? Im ready to buy my OEM M5 Front bumper and fenders, but I need to make sure I have the correct parts list. Im pretty sure I have 100% on the bumper but the fenders I only have listed are the fenders, and fender liners. Im sure there are some additional brackets as well.
