I looked into it when we first got the truck and was disappoint. They do offer some "M sport" body kit add-ons a la the e53 4.6/4.8is bumper add ons. I will be getting those in the future. Probably the knockoff Ebay ones for $150. I hear good things. It's a really nice vehicle and the wife LOVES it. We've gone to look at replacement vehicles and she doesn't like anything as much. I think the extended nappa leather and head-up display have spoiled her. No matter, it's paid off so the longer she loves it, the better off doing the finances every two weeks is for me.

On the garage, I hate it. I mean, it's coming a long and it is tied into the HVAC, so I don't HATE it. But I want to sheetrock it all (I'm about 50% through that project) and do some cabinets. The harbor freight tool chests are nice though and serve their function. I want to get some matching ones with drawers to go with the 3 that I have with doors. BTW, highly recommend them for anyone looking for decent boxes that don't cost crazy money. Husky I think is the brand. Maybe I'll get to dedicate some time/money to it when the kids graduate college (or move out if not going to college ). You know, in 15 years.

I don't really know much about the E70 or F15 but the M Sport retrofit bumpers I have seen look fantastic, they may be aftermarket indeed. Did your model come with the flares or did you retrofit those? It really looks good and like you said, no car payments is a bonus.
