Hi All. First off a quick hello. I've been scouting this forum for quite a while now, picking up tips on removing drain tube filters, adjusting light angles etc! So thanks for all the info!!
I've had my E61 for about 4 months now. Pretty bog standard in terms on engine (520D) but its got plenty of upgrades to keep me going! Full electric memory seats, auto boot open/close, sat nav, bluetooth, panaramic roof etc. Its my second BMW, previously had a 320 E46, but with 2 big dogs it was no good!!
The reason I've decided to post here today is this...I'm looking for ideas to slowly, and I mean very slowly improve the look of my E61. M-Sport front bumper (if not sides and rear too) is a must as well as bigger wheels (stock 17" at the mo). I came across this photos:

And the M5 caught my eye. It took me a few seconds to realise the lack of roof rails and I think its a HUGE improvement on overall look. Has anyone/it is possible to do this to a non M5 E61?!
Can be seen here too:

Many thanks for reading.
