Hi all
This is my first post. Just ordered myself a E60 525i Sport. Mystic Blue, Logic 7 stereo, and floor mats (Just call me the last of the big spenders - lol!).
I love driving (changing gears and all that good good stuffs), hence no auto gearbox or other options that I couldn't personally justify or afford.
Picking it up in Nov.
Questions about the wheels.
The car comes with 18x8 135M wheels front and rear. Now, the very popular and pretty style 124 Wheels are 18x8 front and 18x9 rear. Does that extra inch on the rears add to the aesthetic?
I'm wondering if the stock wheels will look a bit dwarfed by the exterior sport package (might even be a BMW ploy to get us to shell out on dealer-fit options).
I've been considering getting a set of 101M wheels which are 19x8 front and 19x9.5 rear. They're pricey. Almost as much as the 166M M5 wheels, but I'm not looking to make my car look like an M5. Does any of you guys have the 101M wheels fitted to their E60? And if you do, would it be possible to see some pics?
I'd love to see what they look like when fitted to the car. If I do get the 101's I'll put the stock wheels up for sale on the board. If you want to send me a private message that's fine.
Any help appreciated.

I feel the addiction already.....and haven't even got a production date yet. 
My friend has a E39 (i think) M5 and really got me hooked. Even though I'm starting with only a 525i (due to wallet), I can see 545 or better in my future already. I'm leasing this one....we'll see how it goes and decide what to do for the next one. Listen to me...I'm already on my 2nd Bimmer and haven't received my first
