Hi All,
I have owned this 2005 E60 545i for almost 3 years. But the time has come to trade her in. She has had minor problems here and there, but she is one of the best car that I ever had... A truly great drive! I will miss her much!
I do not post here very often but this site is always a very good read. I would like to share some photos that I've taken just a few days ago. As you can see, my other car is a 2006 E87 130i. She will be joined by her new friend this weekend, an Alpine White E93 335i.

Beautiful cars. Hong Kong is awesome - I need to get out there. Those wheels look amazing too.

your 5 looked great. Love the ACS wheels. The 130 is a sharp car as well. Wish we could get that body style in the U.S. Good luck!

Eh, never was a fan of hatches, but yeah that 5 looks mean. I hate how rims cost just as much as software mods, sometimes one rim alone is more than a soft mod.

I agree. His ACS rims probably cost 1/3 as much as his 130!
