I especially like the front lip, may I ask where you got it ?
Thanks Dan. Search for "E60 M5 H style One Piece Lip" on google / ebay. That's where I got mine.

Nice. Details on your steering wheel?

Can’t remember my last mod for my e60 — just ordered a red ///m and starter button.

Just your typical Coby wheel. White stitching and stripe.

Nice call on the start button just did that too. Working in getting the M button too
