If I can get it looking like this I’ll be happy.

Bit too low and the wheels are 22s. I wouldn’t go that far on either but the headlights look tremendous.

Sorry, you know me, always arguing 🤣 but if you want that type of look, you need to buy a two door car, ie. an RS5.

Had the E34 M5, E39 M5 and E60 M5 when they were fairly current, and I think that's why I have never bought another one. Amazing car, I thoroughly respect what it is and what it is capable of, but its always disappointing to look back at and does not have that "Fuck me look at that beastie" factor. Carbon and addons do help, but no matter what you do, and you can go to far - it just does not have that WOW factor in looks alone.

What a car though, and the Remit has always been a discreet executive 4 door car that would humble a Supercar. They did meet their objective!

I like the Ferrari Red, and Sao Paulo or whatever its called and I am not usually a fan of Silver but always liked the F90 in Hockenheim. It has a nice contrast

The problem with those colours (for me) though, is it is trying even more to be sporty and fails. I like the colours, but not on the M5.

Better dark and boring in the F90.

Don’t get wrong. I wouldn’t do the wheels or the ride height so low. It’s just the headlights I’m interested in.
It was the wheels and air ride look that gave me a

Just a typical Thursday evening….

Still a work in progress. Bought a spare set of lights from eBay so I could take my time and still use the car.

All I’ve done is split one and removed the chrome pieces for painting and stick the rest of the light back together but gives an idea of what it’s going to look like.
