For $1600 i think there are better things i can do to the car !!

I saw those and they are amazing but i would rather get the acs springs first
let's see some interior pics. it is your new baby do the mods you want, sure it will look good!

So I wrapped my interior trim in carbon fiber and it turned out much better than I expected. I have to get more carbon fiber wraps to get the center console too but i think i did a clean job at least for the first attempt at this.

I wrapped my mirror covers and rear roof spoiler... Deciding too on whether or not to wrap the interior? Yours turned out great!

Thanks! here's my post on it. i spent 2.5 hours on just one mirror cover as it's got some pretty hard contours to shape without doing it in pieces. one consistent piece overall might have to do with the thickness of the vinyl i used as it was pretty thick. i'm thinking less thickness probably would have been easier to work with?

Hmmmmm..... I don't have an M5 and it came from the factory with M Sport bumpers. I guess the M5 boys look down on the M Sports as not being pure M's. I can live with that!

Looks great, few suggestions:

1. Align those exhaust tips better.
2. Remove fog lights.

Thank you for your reply, also could you please tell if you are happy with the fitment of both bumpers, were there any gaps and who was the seller on ebay.
Thanks again.

It wasnt a ebay purchase, i found a local shop in Orange County ca who had them, obviously fitment its not perfect but im pretty happy with the results. The only little thing is a small gap between the front bumper and the front light which is not too obvious but since i know about it, it kinda bothers me but other than that it lines up pretty nice with everything else
