My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.

Looks great! Now you need some new wheels to fill those arches. Great job on the shadowline and the grills though. And nice front, lower plate.

Thanks for the kind words C. I actually like the wheels, I'm gonna keep em, but a drop IS on the way so that they do fill the arches better.

It looks great! Good job, Pjinca! Replace your CA plates with the Vet. Drop it like it's hot

Cool. Don't forget Spacers too, then. That will help remove the unsightly gap and give the car an even beefier stance while providing better handling.
