I will have to agree with this one, just dosen't look right, and not an M5 so yea, just don't use M5 stuff. Just kinda tackey, expecailly w/ such a big and noticable part.

bummer dude

rice is the wrong word to use. this is not the same as a ricey civic....sorry....however, the 7 is not an m5. I am not a fan of modding cars at all...and the nicer the car, the more i look down on it. It is just not classy.

I see what youre saying, but looking at the pic the bumper looked very nice on the car. The M style bumpers are very classy and racy at teh same time and if fits then why not? but to each their right

ok now if he put the m5 front on a 525 then i would understand about him being a poser or whatever. But this is a 7 series... everyone can see the the size difference between the two cars. So i think adding an m5 front to a 7 is perfectly fine. IMO

I say do it!! I thought it would be hott as hell.

I dunno, a 7 is a 7 and a 5 is a 5, feel me. Why not a Hamman kit or a Hartage one?

LOL



... 'm5' kit just seems like a bad idea...two completely different cars with two completely different personalitites/purposes. Buy something that you'd only find on another 7 series IMO. I'm not saying it looks bad, cus it doesn't, it looks good, but I just have a pet peeve about mods that make your car look like a different make/model...I don't wanna say rice..but you get the idea.

the kit is completely new. its a custom fabricated kit that includes the rear, front and side skirts.

COmplete details here:

http://www.cardomain.com/id/the_shadowchaser

I was gonna go w/ the hamman but it just doesn't look right, too racy imo. I wanted something that was suttle and OEM looking.
and No I will not be putting a m7 badge on LOL

may be a dinan 7 badge aftter some dinan stuff...
