Lumma kits are great– beefs up the look of the car — How much more tuning do you really need to do to a M5–

I don’t like the orange, it reminds me of University of Tennessee yuck, I like the black M5 with the black wheels and add on a Florida State University tag on the back will be very sleek!

Like the matte black– How do you protect it though.– the ornage interior is a little overdone — I could see probably half the amount of orange would do it–body kit is good

@Gragop:
Hmmmm…

BMW + Paul Walker Green + “ICE”…

I hope that Cock-o-Meter goes to 11.

(Nice Top Gear reference, BTW. I “acquire” the UK version of TG religiously. New season starts up next Sunday, too!)

@Lee: The PS3 and plasma TV's go into the trunk next week. After that I'm picking up some NOS bottles. I'm also installing the Top Gear "Cock-o-meter" into the car to gauge how much everyone around me in traffic hates me.

@Gragop:
Doooooooood, that’s going to be suhweeeeeeeet!!!!!

Paul Walker green???

Oh, and don’t forget the A/F gauge (don’t worry about the wideband o2, either… you won’t need it).

At least you’re on the right path with boost gauges. We all know you need at least 4; one in your instrument cluster, one on the A-pillar, one above the radio and one on the glove box so your underaged girlfriend can help you monitor the vacuum levels.

@Lee: Great, now that we've resolved that, can someone come over to help me install the boost gauges on the dash linked to my naturally aspirated engine and help jack up my car so I can paint my brake calipers and rims lime green?

@Gragop: @Marc: If you put 1/10th the effort into performance that you've put into "looking fast", I consider you to be a ricer. That's just my $0.02 on the subject. Carbon fiber interior trim and gaudy orange seats aren't going to get you around the track faster. You're not saving any significant weight. You're simply trying to look fast. And I'm perfectly fine with "tasteless asshats". That's kosher with me.

@Marc: @Lee: Can we call them tasteless asshats?

I only apply the ricer tab to someone who does 0% to the engine tuning….and I am talking about the company’s themselves. Ricer Company’s??? and the term Ricer in and of itself is misleading. Europeans were doing this type of thing for years…

@Marc: I always called them ricers...?

Now I love to “Look” at the first and second one. Now whether or not I would actually do that to my own car is a different thing. They have the typical DTM look. “Tuning” as a word has become diluted in this day and age…what SHOULD we call them now? Kit-makers? Auto Visuals Design Manufacturers? LOL…..

@Lee:

Ah I’m only 25 but I’ve read up a lot on the history of Alpina who basically builds brand new BMWs from the ground up. These days, it’s just like you said, slap Bilsteins and 3rd party wheels on a car and it’s supposed to be “tuned.” I wish companies like Alpina still competed in racing ( aren’t they going to run the M6 racing program or are they running a Alpina B6?) Where they would actually build and test virtually new cars.

I’d love to have my own tuning firm – guess I’m going to make some stickers of my name and slap ‘em on my car, drop the suspension 3 inches, add a roof, rear and front diffuser and some 20’s and then it’s “tuned.”

Japanese style tuning for japanese-looking vehicles (new BMW direction). And I actually think they look better than the stock M5…

Its a shame, really…

@Gragop: I don't think it is fake. It may not be carbon fiber, but it's definitely fiber of some kind. Maybe it's fiberglass with dyed resin.
