I've seen good mods and seen some really bad ones and never terribly kind to even the good ones but let me say this....You did an unbelievable job here!! Love the M5 front along with those tasteful rims but the Black grille against that blue is spectacular.Good luck with the ride dude you should be proud of your task.

As I said in my post the car looks great and in my honest opinion having an M5 side vent with the M5 engraved on it is tacky. Post it on the M5 board and you will see other opinions. You may compare it to the 90's when someone who had a LS would do a JDM Type R conversion to the front end and put a Type R badge on it, but the car still had a ls motor with the auto tranny. Makes sense?

I agree. But at least OP is not trying, he actually covered it. Is there any way to modify a M5 bumper to fit the reg. fenders of the 5er? There's something about the M5 bumper that makes it look so good.

I wonder if the owner gets any people on the street asking him how the new M5 is? Then he starts up his 4-banger.

Looks fantastic but I agree with some prior comments. Didn't realize it was a 528, either. While I applaud the effort, the color, everything... it just seems silly.

BMW sells the M Sport kit as an accessory. They do not sell the M5 kit in the same fashion. So the previous argument about converting to M Sport is pretty much invalid.
