Top 15 Modified M5's on the board??

Following on from another thread...

How about a list of top 15 modified m5s on the board?

In no particular order, but names that spring to mind....

BlackM5 and Sc'Kelleners M5 would certainly be there imho.
BeastPower (Recaro's/rollcage)
Keith97M3Turbo (unique mods such as bigger throttle bodies+spacer etc)
Mottati (Dinan mods)
MIB (Yoda, da AussieBeast)
KSA (Nowack conversion)
Apples (Nowack conversions)
FAST 5
Ron Thompson (painted plenum/coil pack covers, black on black alloys,brembos)
mr_bock

How many Dinan S2's are there on the board?

Re: Top 15 Modified M5's on the board??

I'll have to mention Atomic80's LMB M5. He's taken such good care of it that people are already ligning up to buy his car if he ever sells it (which I hope he doesn't :p )

The modifications that he has done to it have only made the car feel so much stronger and better.

Thanks VanCooper for nominating me! It does feel good being in there! I've spent a lot of time getting my beast the way I want her!

My compliments to all the other beast owners too for having chosen the finest sports sedan in the world. Adding sugar to the spice only sweetens the deal even more!
