Really like it! Great choice of color and wheels! 
Now I have an idea of what my car will look like when it arrives.
You're right, the gap doesn't look bad at all.

sweet ride! I love the wheels - I'm sticking with the 123's for now -
but did you get those factory installed or did you purchase the staggered 124's in addition to the stock wheels?
Freedom, sail quickly!

What size are those #124s? They look different to me.

- This is a 530xi, whose stance is 14mm higher than a non-xi E60
- The hubs of the 530xi are placed slightly wider than on a non-xi E60, such as the stock 545i/550i where Style 124 is usually seen
