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.
Did not realize it was a 528....I could never!! A 550 yes but a 528 needs to be debadged asap.

two things that really impressed me about this car when i saw it at the LTBMW meet:

1) the stance, drop, wheels, and wheel fitment were absolutely on-point
2) the color is absolutely stunning in person. BMW needs to make this a standard color.

very nice. The front fender is wider? But I see the rear quarter are the same? So the front is just wider on the m5?

This car looks good on picture and even better in person! Not once was it passed on as another car or another model. Owner made an effort to get his car the way he wants and he did. Congrats on Evan! I know you're making a lot of people jealous, otherwise you wont be getting this much hate. HA!

That can be said of the whole thing. Why not put an M5 badge on the back to really complete the

The problem with the conversion is a full M body conversion (front bumper/side vents with questionable M badge) minus S63tu

Some individual on the road is going to be happy he just killed an M5 not knowing he ran a 528. I am glad i will be taking delivery of f10 M5 in the near future.

I wish there was some sort of relevance to this front end swap like some of the 335i to M3 conversions that also pack some punch to match the looks. But I guess not..

Wow some of you guys are so hell bent on the fact that its a 528. Not everyone is into street racing. The car looks good so that's all that matters here right? As long as the owner isn't rebadging the car an M5 i don't see a problem whatsoever. Tons of people put on M parts on their "regular" Bmw's because it looks good, not because they are trying to pretend its a M car. This isn't something new.

Just relax and give credit where its due. At least now you lucky M5 owners will know how your car will look with bigger wheels and a drop.
