Interior Rear. Amethyst dakota leather. Just to give an indication of the colour combo. The amethyst appears to be a little lighter in the photo than in real life. To me it is 'more mature' that the (previous) beige interior which after the amethyst is possibly more 'in-yer-face-mate'

Collection - New and Old. De-badged and Autoglym Lifeshined:

After Tyre swap from Bridgestone RFT to Pirelli P Zero Rosso's. What a difference. I had the car for two days on the RF's and the car is now a proper limo when you take it handy and a sporty saloon whan you push it. Highly recommended. The 5er becomes a normal car with run-flats and a BMW with non-run flats. Don't know why BMW just didn't go with RFT completely on the 5er (as on the 3er) and tune the suspension accordingly. Unfortunately black is very hard to photograph properly.

Overall a very impressive machine and really what the E60 should have been at launch at the end of 2003.
