    Thanks!! So far this car is pretty much sponsored by you guys All OEM parts were ordered from ECS. Great service and prices. They truly go above and beyond. I had some issues with the bumpers (Caused by the freight company not ECS) ECS was remarkable through the whole process.

    Does that mean we get to draw sponsor decals for it?

    Any tint shop should be knowledgeable about such a product. Just ask for a 90-100% tint. There are several manufacturers who make clear or extremely light tints.

    I wouldent mind a light tint or maybe some reflective tint...

    My car is rarely ever parked outside of a garage so I am not too worried about the UV rays.

    I got the mirrors on last night but it was too dark for photos. I will try and snap some this eve. The car looks wonderful in it's totally stock form. Probably one of the very few cars I feel that way about.

    Refreshtoration on the 2003 M5

    My E46 M3 gave me that same feeling B. That's a heck of a compliment coming from someone with one of the MOST modified E39s in existence!

    Agree wholeheartedly that the M5 looks wonderful stock. The proportions, design... it all works together very well in a complete, cohesive package.

    Looks perfect.
    Is it lowered? Front looks a bit lower than some of the M5's I saw at BAV.

    Thanks, all!! I feel like it's rare to see a very clean stock M5. So many are modded or tired.

    Love it. Great looking car. Makes me want one even more
    There's one about 3 hours away that's in my budget but am a little hesitant because it's a very low price compared to others in this market.
