What in this great green earth weighs 850 (lbs, kg) and has 29 pieces and would be the most important part to mod an M5?

That is really heavy, maybe, depending on the unit of measure.

What would come from Germany? S/C would be in the US, right (Dinan, VF or?)

Exhaust?

Or, A Differential? My 3.64 diff was 95 lbs shipped, and alot of people with E39 M5's go to the 3.45(Recommended by Discovery Automotive).

Seems to heavy to be CAI, but maybe with the unit of measure?

Am I warm?

How many guesses do I get?

If I got it right, can I drive it?

Hows that Powerchip goin for you? I assume its the Powerchip 93. We only have 91 octane here in CA so I was weary of that upgrade, plus the Dinan Stage 1 is doing what it needs to do (eliminate top speed limiter and rev limiter increase)

Great selection of mods, I'm accumulating parts and saving for the migraine inducing labor to install all of them.

Good luck with the M5.

OK guys, the labels in the pic are misleading, this shipment is part of 29 shipments that were shipped to a "distributor" in Florida.

They are my new WHEELS :)

I got a pretty good deal, around $5000 for a set, cheaper than Beastpower:

Nice, I noticed they weren't from him, so I figured you got a better deal :D

So far no other wheel has taken my number one pick for the M5.

I'm jelous. Those are nice. They have a look like HRE's but a bit more sportier. Great choice. That price has to include the tires as well right ?

///ACS-3
06-16-2005, 12:26 PM
Nope, with tires is around $6000.
