for the ones that i told you that they are useless, if you are willing to wait, go with an Alfa-N setup with the evolve intake system and a tune. this combination is the best out there in the intake department, don't waste your time go with stupid and expensive products.


the pulleys are useless, the best recommendation in that field is that go with an electric fan. that thing will reduce load on your engine and when combined with a lightened flywheel will even make your car rev better.

Mod ideas:

Now:
Foiled matte black roof, CF foiled kidney grills, rear wing and diffuser Not the spoiler though, it'll mimic the whole Honda Civic two tone crap.

Eisenmann catback
Lower bumper grill with brake duct holes - 150USD from modbargainsIf they function for brake cooling, maby.
Roof spoiler - 110USD from modbargainsNO!
Matte black M5 badge - 40USD from modbargains

Alpina replica wing - NO IDEA FROM WHERE??????

TMS power pulley kit - 250USD from TMS (good idea???? not sure)
AFE intake - 495USD from modbargains (again good idea??? not sure)
19inch CSL style rims - 215USD from modbargains E46M3 CSL wheels do not belong on an E39M5, I'm surprised you even thought of that!
Diffuser - Still undecided from whom
Brake upgrade (when I need to change the brakes) Pads, SS lines and oil. Carbotech/Goodridge|TMS/MotulRBF600 respectively.
Suspension upgrade (mmmm still thinking) As Burno stated, go coilovers once and for all, bushes as well.
