Oh my ... I've said it before, this is an awesome M5-clone conversion. It looks perfect with the OEM style rims but not a fan of the red Advans. It makes it look a bit Too Fast Too Furious 'street racer' for me (lol).

Oh man... While I applaud the work... And love your choice in overall look... And I'm VERY happy that you didn't put an M5 badge on the trunk...though you do have one on the grille...
I'm not a fan of the conversion in general. Just my opinion.

Either way, enjoy it! It is a beautiful car!

There's not an M5 badge on the grille...

It's just the ///M

I have the M5 LCI grilles and I also removed the 5 behind the ///M badge.

Of course there will allways be different opinions on modifications. I love how this car looks and as long as there are no M5 badges I think this is a good mod (I have a M5 replica front bumper but std fenders on my own F10, so I guess I'm a bit biased )

Oh, ok... I stand corrected.

To each his own... I've just never been one for conversions. I've always preferred to customize with aftermarket parts.

I've been debating if I wanted to get silver or black M5 wheels, the black actually looks great on an F10.

But THIS is going to far IMO:

Complete with multiple M5 badges etc... Only thing that gives the game away is the photo of the front brakes...

Your car looks great! I'm a huge fan of the conversion especially without any added M5 badges.

Which kit did you go with? Also I can't see any issues but do the new front fenders stick out any further than the rears?

Thanks.

I bought the eBay kit but I sold it and bought all OEM M5 Body parts for perfect fitment and quality.

OEM M5 Front Bumper, Rear Bumper, Rear Diffuser, Side Skirts, and Fenders.

Yes the front is sticking out a little bit than the rears. I am using a 12mm spacers on the front for Flush Fitment.

Ok good to know. I was worried about fitment with those kits since they use generic photos. I'm assuming OEM is a tad bit more money

HORRENDOUS! I'm all for uniqueness and self-expression... BUT...it's clear the owner has a poor sense of style or taste.

BUT... If he/she is happy... that's all that matters.

but.....

It's a tad bit more but if you are patient you can find deals on eBay.

For the OEM M5 Front Bumper I paid $350 for it on eBay.

I bought my LCI M5 Grilles on Craigslist for $100.

It's better to buy the parts used to save 40% or more from buying the parts from the dealership.

Next Project is to paint the door trims into Black Chrome I think it will look good. I might use the Duplicolor Black Chrome paint kit.
