Thank you 1.NEON for the complement by the way your car color is very nice it's one of the best colors that i have ever seen.
i got the export silencers, by the way did you get the conecting pipes as well, i got them and it gave the car a little mor power.

I did the same mods to my Sepang Bronze here in Australia, did you get the "export silencers" or the EU ones, I got the export they sound beautiful.

I look at yours, mine and others on the Board, Hartge is such an improvement IMO on the look of standard M5.

Anyone know how much the Hartge wheels weigh? I'm going to guess about 35 lbs.

Speaking of 21 inch Hartge, I realise even though they are 21 inch, the diameter (important for acceleration) is smaller than the standard M5 E60! So it is only that added weight of the wheels tht hampers performance.

Could you be more precise?
