e55 -> e63 front end conversion

thinking about doing an conversion, but afraid it might be too poser-like. wat do u guys think? the plan was doing the 63 front and keepping everything else.

Don't do it. I've heard so many negative things about the 63 pointed front end. Actually, having it and looking at it up close just makes me get my lazy butt in the car and "punch it". Really not worth the effort.

don't do it unless u get in a little fender bender and mess up the front. the bumper, bumper brackets, fogs, fog brackets, and front grill need to be swapped out. i've realized that its a fairly straightforward procedure if u don't have park distance assistance... it makes it a harder procedure if u do because of sensors and such

if u really want to go for it just do it but ur probably better leaving it alone. i've been thinking about this myself... i love how aggressive the front bumper looks on the 63

I also agree after seeing it at the dealer and in the pics e63 front is much more looking then the 55k one. just my opinion
if its involves alot of work and sensors and what not you might want to think twice

I dont find anything poser about that...its a sick looking front end...especially the vents on the side... If $$ isn't a factor I say go for it....
