Nice ride!

Is that a Honda civic in your garage? Someone is getting ripped off in your family if you are rolling in an E60 and they are stuck in a civic (unless it's your kid's).

Overall very nice. I generally am not big on black wheels on any car. But, the chrome areas make them look nice.

That looks like a 3 series coupe in the garage. Perhaps an M3?

From the looks of the mirrors, it's not an M3 and from his name, I would venture to guess it's a 325CI.

Do I win a prize???

What a great community!

Ok, thats my 3 series in the garage. You guys don't miss anything!

The new car is a 545. I debadged it the second day I had it. I like the clean look. I'll be honest, I'm not a big fan of black wheels either, but after seeing John's car (GREAT observation Eurocarfan) I knew I had to do black on black.

As far as the wheels/tire set up. They are Maido RT5 in black with a chrome lip in 245/35/20 x 9 in the front and 275/30/20 x 10.5 in the rear. They are Toyo tires. I got a good deal from Charles at Wheelautohaus. Good guy. The ride quality is still very comfortable! I had H&R racing springs on my 3 series, and the ride is pretty damn harsh. So ANYthing is an improvement to that.

I don't think I'm gonna lower. THe 20s feel the well pretty well (could be tighter) but I'm pretty happy with the look and the ride is great.

Also, 5%, limo tint.

Thanks again for all of the nice comments, accept you, amigo525.
