Yes sir! I always wanted one...at first I was hesitating between a w209 500 but then I saw the 430 and I just found it stood out and had a mean sporty and yet classy look to it. So ya 430 amg it is haha

The transplant would be cool, but in reality find a AMG motor + tranny is too expensive. Better just finding a cheap 55 as a car. But if ya drop that 63 motor in now your talkin!

the price difference between a 430 and a 55 here in montreal is a couple of grand...so if you got ppl that can get you the parts you need its better to just go with the former model...i have a guy looking for a 6.3 + tranny right now...he says its gonna cost me about 4-5 g's which is reasonable...i forgot to mention the motor will be salvaged so i told him to take his time...the only problem is i wanna make my car a manual...so i dont know how im gonna manage that...i wanna feel and be able to control all that power...although all if this is just ideas i want to be able to know that if i do go with them that the parts ill need will be available.

bumper
Hey Sonny, is that a VIS bumper?
I purchased one recently and the fitment was horrible. I love the look though but the gap between the grill and bumper were unbearable. How did you get yours to fit so perfectly?

here are some pics of the two to do some comparisons. hope im not hijackin ur thread.
in the last two shots of the BMW, the car was raised an inch :\
IMO, for my car being 4 years older than the BMW, it sure doesnt look much older and when i install my fog lights it will look even newer. hope this helps u decide
