Shame Shame! Could have at least matched the paint and put cross drilled rotors on it.

I had to do a double take to make sure it is not a M5. LOL. It's close in regard to look. Car looks nice without the badge.

He did a pretty good job, I'd say. The diffuser looks to be a real M5 one and the exhausts tips are well replicated (possibly real M5 tips). He also got the right fenders, replica wheels, and even the mirrors (which most people miss).

For those who cannot tell, you can see in the second picture that the brake discs are not cross drilled (and are somewhat undersized), indicating that it is not a real M5.

I can hardly see the brakes in that picture, but now that you pointed that out I can see. I was feeling quite the idiot there not being able to see a major difference. I would say for the money he/she spent, why not just upgrade? Maybe the 11MPGs??
