Cool |||Venom: E60 M5 Build Thread – The SHOP – MFEST – HH – STM – WPI – GTHAUS – DPE |||

fanatics.....Picked this up a few days after I sold the VFE Stg II M3.

Meet VENOM; Alpine White 08 E60 M5



I created this thread to document the build and keep you guys updated with pictures. It's currently at THE SHOP for a complete repaint and minor body work. Moe and his team were also responsible for the Yellow G-Powered E60 M5 @ SEMA which belongs to MFEST Founder, Chris Naguit. STAY TUNED

Current mods:
- H&R springs
- Gloss black vinyl roof
- Macht Schnell pulleys
- 15% Huper Optik Ceramic tint courtesy of STM Solutions
- SWAG ON BOARD

Ordered:
- Proto-type MFEST Coilovers
- Meisterschaft GT2 Race Exhaust courtesy of GT Haus
- Radenergie front lip courtesy of WPI
- CF fender grills
- Blacked out badges
- CF kidney grills
- DPE Wheels





Past projects:

1st project - Valentina - E46 325Ci w/ 3.0L engine swap


2nd Project - Victoria - E60 545i


3rd Project - Vicious - E46 M3 Stage II VF

while you miss i6, you got v10 under you hood. that should give you enough punch for the time being. nice lip. needs pics after installation for sure.
