My Ride: 545i Sport Auto (see sig)
Today was a beautiful day, so I drove around to some scenic places (e.g. where I live and where I work) and took some shots. I've recreated my 'My Ride' album with a selection of these shots.
I've deleted my audio system pics because they should have gone in the aftermarket section - and anyways, I'm getting one more bit put in this week (an equalizer) so I'll take some new pictures and put them up after that.
As described in my signature, my exterior has had the standard BMW spoiler added, new wheels and tires, a clear bra, and a B&B exhaust. I have no desire to replace body panels to make it look ricier; I've deliberately preserved the executive-sleek look of the standard E60. Notice how my SSR-GT3s are satin gunmetal, not bright and in-your-face.
The clear bra was done exceptionally well (I'll post in the detailing section about this). It has only a minimal effect on the color of the paint.
This is a $750 detailing job you're looking at, btw. Izzy at Diablo Automotive in Mountain View, CA is the top detailer in NorCal - he's a genius.
For the entire album go to:

I'll embed a representative sample of pictures here:
