Parts may be here in another 4-6 weeks. Still waiting. Ordered Aug 14 (after nearly 3 months of getting the order right) and it takes 4-8 weeks for delivery. Will definiately take pictures. I've already contacted 3 photographers who are listed on South Florida BMW meet (soflobmw.com). It was suggested that I wait, but I want to take pics of before, during, and after pics so that anyone considering the kit will SEE what is done and how it is done. Still waiting.
Ignoring the pun, I actually DID consider painting it
roasted pumkin. I also considered off-white (cream). But, I'll leave it black sapphire. Too many "orange" cars in S. Florida and "white" cars look terrible after a few years - can see every dark stain, etc.
There are ALWAYS going to be ppl who love or hate a mod or a look. Some people like Lumma, some like G-power, some like Hamaan ... some like the stock areo kit. Me? I celebrate EVERYTHING that is BMW ... and the people who mod them ... whether I like the mod or not. At least they are doing SOMETHING. But then again, different cultures I suppose. What is important to the left is not concern to the right. I respect the differences.
It is an M5. That interior cost about $33,000USD. The exterior cost about $42,000. So ultimately, the M5 overall is more than a $100,000 investment. But, that is how it is done in Europe.
