My Ride: (2007) E60 - 520d Msport - Carbon Black,Black Dakota Leather, Carbon Fibre Trim, Business Nav, Bluetooth with telematics, Heated Seats, Parking Sensors Fr/Rr
Hi All,
probably not the right section to post pics - but here we go, pictures of my ride with the following mods:
* Gun Metal finish 166M rims & Continental tyres
* 6 cylinder chrome Grilles
* Rear M spoiler
* MSport Badge and Number Plate carriers.
* Rear windows tinted 40%
Thoughts - good or bad welcomed. And before anyone wants to diss the 'M' badge - I know its not an M5 or a copy - but I like the badge and it helps break up the rear end nicely IMO.
Cheers,
Matt

The pics are kind of small. I can't really tell that the wheel are gun metal or just plain silver.

Looks great.
It's funny how people outside of the US add the chrome grilles to their cars, but people here want them blacked out.

What happened to the pictures?
Just resized them
Photobucket is great.
Thanks for the kind comments.
To answer the Grille question - IMO the carbon black would look a little lost against the matte black grilles. The only other option is Carbon Fibre - ??? - and with a baby on the way - the mods will probably slow down a little this year!
Regards,
Matt
