I was going to mention something about the shop pulling a switcharoo with the transmission, too.

Excuse the crappy iphone fotos:
At the shop.
Closeup of the (really dirty) front wheel.
The point behind doing this was to improve the way the car looks by removing most of the gap between the top of the tires and the bottom of the fender lip, without making the car look too low. The H&R Sport springs were installed by Auto Innovations in Milpitas, CA.
Next up, exhaust kit (Corsa?) and some kind of spoiler lip for the trunk.
For what it's worth, the Corsa lost HP on the current gen M5.
Interesting... I'm not specifically set on the Corsa, other than the fact that I liked how the Corsa Sport system sounded on my GTO. I'd rather not go with a kit that will have quad pipes (two per side), because that would require cutting the bumper and installing a (diffuser?) plate.

Probably not anytime soon. Next up is exhaust and spoiler, followed by 19" rims.
*maybe* a Stage 1 Dinan ECU flash, maybe not.

It looks nice, but I would never let some guy in Milpitas mess with the suspension that some very smart engineers in Bavaria fine tuned to perfection.

There's no such thing as perfection, there is only varying states of compromise. When you're going aftermarket, you're aiming for something that fits YOUR preferences more closely than the target mass market the OE tried to hit.

My point was warranty. I do not deny there are AM parts that supercede OEM in quality and performance return. This is the guy who's waiting for his bmw z4 to fall out of warranty before doing any mods. I just can't afford to have issues and that stuff not be covered on a $30k used car...
