Would any other E60 M-Sport owner be interested in a set of these...

oh well., i ordered a set, lets see how long it takes to show at the post office and what tax customs feel i should pay.

Just saw this... They dont look too different to the standard spoiler? How much were they?

 

[sash]

with shipping R1400 excl customs. They fit onto the existing bumper and they protrude a little more than the bumper, from the side view it is noticeable.

Also if you compare the bumpers on the M5 and MSport the M5 has 'fangs' so the part on either side of the mesh below the fogs is almost straight or \ /

while msport is more outward like this / \

the spoiler changes it to have the same angle as the M5.., very subtle, just the way i like it.
i didnt want anything over the top, plus the CF ones were double the price and i have no other CF bits on the car so didnt make sense to get a CF one.

So you'll colour code them, Im guessing? I'd like to see how they look on your car after. Might consider getting some once the dealer has fixed the scratches they left on my bumper :nonono:

 

[sash]

no, not colour coding, will decide when i get them, but thinking of going a few shades darker than the colour of the car and painting other bits. Might be paint, plastidip, vinyl, have not decided yet..

 

[Sportpack]

Talking about plasti-dip, I'm thinking about painting the rear "diffuser" black on mine (Alpine White) but want to try it with plasti-dip to see what it might look like. Any thoughts on that?

Also, have you done any mods to the interior lighting, i.e. conversion to LED?

 

[sash]

if i go with plasti-dip, i want to try the rear diffuser as well as i figure that vinyl on there might be a hassle.

I havent done any interior lights.., have done some research, but for some reason i like the warm white. I did find a set that was led, but around the 4300k mark which is not that blueish white.

 

[Sportpack]

The warm light is fine, I guess, but looks a bit "cheap" under the doors. Maybe I'll just change those to a white LED. Im also looking at getting LEDs for the angel eyes...

 

[sash]

true, will see how things pan out

 

[Gbmw]

I reckon it looks good. Looks OEM but different, if that makes sense.

 

[Sportpack]

Any updates? Did you fit them yet?

Yep...like that...although, now I dont know if I like it or not.

 

[sash]

I got them in the post.., quality looks good, but unfortunately my wife pulled the front bumper, so need to get that repaired first.

Yes, like that, i think it would look better on a darker car though....

 

[sash]

ok, late update as i received the item a few months after buying then waited for the panelbeater to sort the car, but eventually fitted late last year and remembered now about this thread.

The fit is not as good as i would like, but that might just me being finicky. its not painted its the original fibre glass just polished up. :rollsmile:

 

[Teezy_F30]

usually hate spoke wheels ... but daaam those sit nice on the car man! :clapper:

 

[Ratslaaf]

Agreed, the car looks lovely!
