Yeah, I kind of feel the same way on the wheels.....but if I put the m6 tires on there it won't look as bad as the above pic with the e60 tires. I may take one rear and one front M310 wheel and have the front/ back m6 tires mounted on and see how it looks. If it looks good, I'll take the other 2 and get mounted up. It'll need a drop regardless. Worse case I sell the AG set-up and get some 20's

I think these wheels are perfect for the car...with the right tires and wheel spacers youre good to go.

I removed the carbon filters the other day. Windows getting tinted in a couple of days. Black grilles will be next. Still deciding if I want to make the wheel swap with M6 tires. These will quickly be the first mods. A little further out will be lowering, exhaust and intake, and RPI scoops. Not sure from there

Besides that, enjoy the car relatively unmodded and I'm sure the mod bug will be stronger once summer nears.
Thanks for sharing the new acquisition and I can't wait to see the transformation.

Finally got my windows tinted today. I've only had the car a little over a week, but after having tinted windows for years, it made it seem much longer than a week that I didn't have it.
I went with the same brand and % I had on my 550, which is Formula One, the series is Pinnacle Ceramic, and it is 15% all around except the windshield.
Here are some pics......

I know you just bought the wheels, but I think you will eventually realize they are too small for the M6. The dark color doesn't help either since that gives the illusion of them being smaller. I think you may be better of selling the wheels and tires to a 5 series owner since they have the proper sizes and move onto something else. The other thing to consider is that in order to close the wheel gap, you'll have to lower the car a bit more than you would on a 20" set of wheels, which may or may not affect the overall driveability of the car.
Besides that, enjoy the car relatively unmodded and I'm sure the mod bug will be stronger once summer nears.
