Just a bit of background info, I’ve had I think 17 BMW’s since 2000 and basically every one was modded in some way with the exception of my wife’s cars , most of the BMW’s I’ve had were before I worked at my BMW dealership as a CA and the M Specialist. I went from many, many 3’s, then on to 2 beloved M3’s and finally got into the amazing M5 competition in LCI form. Other cars in the stable are a 22 X3M comp, a 340xi, and an 06 e60 M5 so I know BMW very well from the best to the not so best. With the 21 M5 after a couple of years adding more and more mods I think it’s finally complete, at least for now that is…. My goal was for it to be very aggressive but still look as clean and tasteful as possible. I’m not a fan of cars that look too far away from oem++ and at times don’t even look the same as the original car, I think it CAN be too much sometimes. I wanted the car to have that extra performance edge vs oem and to also remedy the horrible RAM/Booster HK sound system they have now. I think the finished look, sound and feel came out exactly as intended and I’m simply in love with the car. Every time I drive it or even look at it, it puts a huge smile on my face. The performance is simply monstrous when pushed , yet so civil and luxurious when not pushed.
It really is a very classy and elegant BMW, yet extremely capable and rewarding to drive. In my opinion this LCI M5 is BMW’s best looking modern car and one of the all time great icon cars. Part of the fun of modding is learning how to do a lot on my own , everything but suspension upgrades were done by me and I’ve learned quite a bit along the way, especially with the audio system which sounds incredible now thankfully. Just need to improve my RTA audio tuning skills Not many custom tuning or audio specialists near the cape to help.
Now on to the good stuff…pictures and the list of mods.

who is much, much more than a BMW genius and has created a ton of valuable videos on BMW’s for the masses and also was the one who introduced me to Coleton.
To my dealership ( South Shore BMW in MA ) for helping source many of the mods. My BMW tech, Steve O’neil, he’s the only one who does any work on my M5 and is an excellent tech, does most of the M cars here as well. Last but certainly not least a big thank you to my wonderful wife for putting up with my constant car stuff and the many ” what do you think” questions lol.
