I have to admit, I was VERY tempted by this...the thing that stopped me however was the high price and the fact that every one of the body parts from ACS has that stupid indentation for the ACS badge.

tfung has the ACS rear wing, looks decent but completely ruins the stealth of the car IMHO. Here is a link to a pic of it on his car... http://www.automotivespecialist.net/as-01bmwm52.html.

Guys, it is pricey for what it is. Each to his own. The wing to me takes away from the stealth. The diffuser I think is done very well and only noticeable to M5 owners.

here is a pic

hey what's wrong with the ACS badge..?
it's a nice touch...
not like it's a big sticker saying "RICER in effect"

nikon,
i think the diffuser is a nice touch..looks great..but then again i love almost anything ACS makes..

How many ACS Logos on Young-NYC's Beast?

Young and I actually counted last weekend.. I think our total was 20+?

How many //M logos on ours? I believe around 16. ( too lazy to go out to my garage to count)

Fred,

I have seen your car up close and personel from behind(if I remember correctly, too close behind on one of those sharp turns in Napa!) and I like it just the way it is. Nice pic.

Any upcoming drives from the Northern guys?
