They packaged the part well too which was a concern with shipping something like this from Europe. Panel beater is going to paint it for $150. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted July 26, 2021 Awesome, nice to see an M5 E60 be save from retardation. They make a lot more sense to me in stock specification. Will look the part with the stock rims back on too... Pilot sport 4S spec tyres are probably the go? Bet you enjoyed the quieter stock exhaust on that drive! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
han16 94 Report post Posted July 26, 2021 The loud exhaust had its moments but I do enjoy a quieter car, I think my neighbours also enjoy the stock exhaust when I sit in the drive warming the car up at 630am. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
