Official Suvneer E63 Front Conversion Thread

Lol. Thanks for the feedback HeissRod. I think I prefer the black better too and will go without the star only if I can find an OEM or OEM fit grille that does not have the small logo on top or the cut out for it.
The alternative will be to go for the OEM grille and then return the flat hood emblem to the standing star. Not really sure I want to do that either as it gives the car a dated look. Decisions, decisions lol. Where are folks getting their black grilles anyway? Not willing to part with almost $500 on the E63 grille sold by mboemparts.com.
On a side note, I like your wheels. What size are those?

long shot here, but is there any chance that anyone has a black painted e63 bumper they would want to sell? My current bumper broke this winter, and it would be much nicer to just have one I could swap out quick.

The bare min, you will need to make it bolt on is
211-887-03-27 Pull For Hood Latch
211-880-09-03 Inner Plastic Support
211-880-10-03 Inner Plastic Support
211-880-07-03 Center Inner Plastic Support
This method you can trim and fit the E55 Energy Absorbers aka Foam Inserts
If you don't want to trim your E55 foam inserts and get the perfect fitment right off the bat then you need these.
211-885-13-37 Impact Absorber Center
211-885-15-37 Impact Absorber Left
211-885-16-37 Impact Absorber Right
But if you want to go all out i would also get these
211-885-05-16
211-885-06-16
^^ these attach to the inner plastic supports and provide an attachment for the inner wheel well.
I personally order them all, the cost wasn't too bad, but this way its a perfect fitment and will be reinforced all over the bumper.

Would anyone know if we are able to turn off the bumper lights in the corner of the bumper, with the STAR/DAS system after the e63 conversion has been installed on our E55s?

Love the car WideRide.
I know that there are no bumper lights on the E63 oem or aftermarket. I've had mine done since last year from Gary. However the E55 does. I am trying to find out if the light can be disabled with DAS instead of just leaving the bulb in the socket behind the bumper. When the bulb is removed the light error on the dash comes on.

Yeah that's my main concern, I had my bumper off the other day, and I thought let me see how hot it gets. It was burning to a point that its not really safe.
I've seen some ppl use resistors to not allow the dash light come on, but I rather just turn it off from the source, being the computer through DAS if possible. Just need more information before I take it to the stealership lol

Thanks for this!
Where is the Central Gateway located? I remember seeing the ROW option, just don't remember what menu its under. Does it effect anything else if i set the car to ROW?
I'm assuming by setting it to ROW i'm getting more options with the car with features vs the restricted north america? Sorry i'm still new to the ocean of information to do with STAR and i'm trying to be more hands on with this car.
