white m5 f10

hey guys, just wanted to share a couple of pics from my car, mods list is extensive
3d desing front lip
3d desing rear diffuser
Matte Black M5 emblem
IND carbon fiber mirror covers
IND carbon fiber front grill with m tri colors
IND carbon fiber side grills
Akrapovic exhaust
AMS catted Downpipes
Dinan REAR sway bars (Installed the front one but took it off 10 days later, i personally did NOT like the feeling of the car with this particular mod, frankly speaking the steering wheel felt like it was fighting me over where to move it, so i had this removed and am willing to sell pm if interested.)
AC SCHNITZER lowering springs kit.

still waiting on the wheels ordered VORSTEINERS forged vs-320s two tone, hopefully by next week i should have them up.
anyways here are some pics, let me know what you think.

Do you go to Lung Fung and to Manolo's? Those are two of my favorite places to eat in Panama. El Trapiche is good and out of town on the highway down near Rio Mar is a restaurant right on the highway where we always eat if we are headed out that way. I cant remember the name right now. The car looks great, bet it sounds good too.

Looks great. You should've put both front and rear sway bars on. I was told putting only one or the other will cause horrible handling characteristics.

Interesting. I have both and love the way it handles. To each their own. I've been told not to mix and match the sway bars, so probably better for you to go all OEM sways then.

It sounds like your front sway bar was improperly installed.
They could have installed it tight when it was up in the air, it's a common sway bar install mistake shops make.

MPower3330, do you feel the steering wheel fighting you?

Is the Dinan front sway bar adjustable? (3 positions or a slider system?)
If so, that could also be part of the installers problem. If not measured properly, etc.
It's not just a bolt on install.

Properly installed upgraded sway bar should make the steering feel better. The turn in sharper and the response quicker.

They are adjustable so you just need fit them to your pref. I would have the shop make the front a bit less stiff.

@Sharif507.

Your front grilles...the M tri colors look to be darker than normal....?

Is that just the camera/picture?.... Or did you have them painted a bit darker in tone?

yeah, I'm familiar with this specific offering from IND. However, from your pics it looked like they were toned dark / tinted / darker than what i've seen in other pics. I guess its just the lighting in your pics.

THanks!

in all honesty 95% fitment, the front bumper fits almost perfectly, the rear diffuser however i had to reinforce from the inside so it fits well because once you clip it in, inside the clips its a bit loose.
