I'm usually not a big fan of white...but I think that looks really nice! Even the non-sport chrome window trim seems to work real well with the chrome lip on the wheels. Nice, nice job!!

Personally I like the Breyton Spoiler the best. The Hartge looks a little too "The Fast and Furious" looking for me. I love both of your cars, the rims make a huge difference on the E60, good choice.

Thanks for the compliments.....i also am leaning toward the Breyton spoiler also.Even dough the car looks good i think it would 've looked much better with 20" wheels.I look at the car and sometimes the wheels just look kinda small.....maybe it's just me?

The 18" 124 style actually measures 19.5" of rim.

Which is perfectly normal, the 18" is the size of the rim measured from the middle of the rim (which is on the inside and only visible when remove the tire), and not from the sides that are visible at the outside (and measure more than 18").

Which window tint did you have installed?

How was the trim prepped before painting? Will it chip easily?
Were the mirror removed also? How about the door trim?


Looks really good. Cleanest E60 I've seen.

Being a fellow Floridian I am also interested in the window tint. What type and percent did you get, did you get the windshield done and how much$$?
