Yes, I like the M5 bumper. I have not researched them as yet but I have heard they come with fog lights. My stock E39 is already set up with foggies. Are they positioned differently? This car was a European delivery model...does that make a difference?

What do you use for brake pads? I have the stock Pagids, which slow\stop the car fine but the softness of the pad results in the inevitable mega dust. Brake pad softness is great for the rotors but the cleaning aspect sucks.

I hear you on the mods...my Z was stock when I got it and I have spent many thousands in cash and over 400 hours of my labor to get it to where it's at now. Definitely a passion...

ACS acronym is short for what vendor?. (sorry...new to the BMW vendor scene).

Thanks.

Thanks. Actually, the spoiler on the TT is the stock spoiler that is molded into the hatch (not the park bench style...LOL).

I'll attach a pic from the rear and as an added bonus...my wish list car...a '69 Vette Convertible.

Welcome to UB dude! And "ACS" stand for AC Schneizter, the premier German based tuner for BMW.

As you can see with my car, I went the Dinan route, North America's premier BMW tuner. Quite pleased with my mods also. Again, welcome!

Sorry for the long lapse between posts. I have been very busy and limited 'net time. I don't know what happened to the pics either...but here they are again.
