After delivering E60's to client's for the last 1.5 years, I finally got my own. Now I have a whole new perspective on what it is like to wait on your car.

Congrats Jeremy! Looks nice!! It's not too often a member actually gets pics of the car still on the truck...

Did you get a good deal?

It didn't come with the painted calipers, right?

I've been with BMW of Nashville for 4+ years, so my GM takes good care of me when I buy my cars. Plus w/ the incentives BMW FS has on leases right now on the 05's, it's a good value for anyone.
I painted the calipers w/ G2 brake paint when she was being PDI'ed. I had ordered the wheels a few weeks back. Just traded in my factory wheels.

Note to the members;
I am around these cars everyday. I have been to every trianing on the E60's since our "ride 'n drive" event in Dallas, TX. I pride myself in 'Product knowledge' on all of BMW's models, and have access to much more info than most. But I learn something everyday from this forum. So thank you to all the members for your participation and dedication to these great cars.

I imagine you already do this but in case you don't, feel free to spread the word to your customers and colleagues about our little corner of the web...

Looks fantastic, BMWofNashville !

These 128 wheels seems to be getting very popular. A while back I had problems finding pictures of them, esp. on a black E60.
But on March 27th, Robbo posted some similar pictures on the "Parts, Accessories and Mods" forum, and now there's yours.

I got myself the same set of wheels on a carbon black E60 with M-Sports package.

Black car, big shining wheels and these red painted calipers....taste is something personal, but this looks like a winning combination to me!

Very individualized. I like your caliper job. I wanted to do mine red, but after listen to some opinions here I on the site, I decided to leave them alone. Looks great! Enjoy it!

Also, due to your training and knowledge, please post more often. We have a few resident experts on the site, but its always great to have another one!
