The Heat Exchanger is custom made by Buckhead Imports Performance and it is a monster. It contours with the bumper and holds extra cooling in the side tanks.
The M5 made 375rwhp before the blower kit went on with full bolt ons and is expected to be around 600HP once the dust settles. Below are some pics of the complete Super Sprint exhaust system. This is an old pic as the Asanti rims have had the lips coated in gloss black, tail lights smoked, and coil overs installed with more of a drop.

LOL you're not biased in any way Haha! I have always been a BMW fan .. till the E55. Nice M5 ... looks nice .. never been a fan of centrifugal chargers ... gotta be a roots S/C or turbo for me.
I'd still take the E55 over the E39 M5 any day though, even if the E39 were twin turbo

No arguments here ... I'll still take the E
I love centri's, I have one on my 04 GT mustang. They have HUGE top ends, and you also dont know it is there cruising around town. Traction is also better with them down low, and that whistle at idle is

My previous E39 put down a consistent 690+ to the tire.
Here is a clip of it vs BuddyG's Evo Gt700 911 TT

I had some great times with it good handling especially in the corners. But it was no 211 the comfort.

The M5 weighed close to 4000lbs.
Also.. he didn't catch me until 160 mph..lol.
Buddyg's GT700 is well documented on 6speed. Look it up.

Finished the look, but need your opinions on one thing homies, should I paint the front lip. I am leaning towards it, but like other opinions too. I am going to pull the tag frame, and install a brushed silver frame:
The following was changed:
*Silver CLS staggered 18's
*painted CF trunk spoiler brilliant silver
*painted front reflectors brilliant silver
*pulled CF wrap off roof
*pulled CF mirror covers off
*lowered rear 1/2"
*installed oem V8 Kompressor badges and plasti dipped them
*painted the hood vent grill brilliant silver
*pulled the heat exchanger black grill off
Enough talk, onto the pics
