Nice one Steve!

If the M5 ARB's fit the E61 and you want to get rid of them when you get your new ones just let me know mate.

SG535d..with your M5 ARBs, did your ride get harder on road..
Not at all. Only the cornering ability was improved, the car suffers from reduced body roll. I can't think of a negative to fitting the M5 ARBs? (other than having to forego food for 2 months to pay for them )

Congrats! But I think you should get some black plastic cover for the bolts on your front plate. I have it on mine and it goes great with the black letters.
