My Ride: MY2005 E60 545iA (Delivered 10th September 2005), Silver Grey, Black Dakota, Maple wood Sycamore Anthracite.
Mods done: M-Kit, ACS racing type IV 9.0JX20" and 10.0JX20" on Michelin PS2 front 255/30/20 and rear 295/25/20.
Mods to come: ACS suspension set, ACS trunk spoiler, ACS roof spoiler, ACS alu foot pedals, ACS exhaust, M5 trunk finisher, M5 Mirror or ACS Mirror.
Thanks... didn't know so many of you are fans of the ACS wheels!
Anyway, they cost me HK$32000 (US$ 4100) for a set of 4 back in year 2005. I think it's a reasonable price for authentic stuff. But I really think the tyres are very expensive... more than HK$4000 (US$ 500) for each the rear295. So, no, in response to the hyerbole quoted by 1esquire... it didn't cost me like 1/3 of my 130i which was HK$400,000 (US$51,000)
, it was about 1/9th haha!

Guess how much a stock M5 is in England, according to BMW UK's website. $122k. Ha.

Yes, the OEM M5 mirror folds...
But unfortunately, the car was already traded-in with the mirrors.
Sorry Bro...
