The m5 wheels will fit, but I don't believe the oem m5 tires will.

correct

you need 245/35/19 up front and the 275 or 285/30/19 on the rear. 10mm spacers on the rear will take it from ET28 to ET18 and give you a nice fit without the risk of rubbing (on OEM sports suspension / Eibach Pro)

Your car looks pretty low already. Did the rims fill in the wheel well a lot more than the stock rims?

Do you have any before and after pics?

Car looks good as is. let me know where you get your mtec rep kit im interested as well.

Where did you get those rims?
These are always a good starting point. I would also thow in a spoiler. M5 one always looks nice. ACS or RDsport also look nice, but a bit more aggressive. Maybe the roof spoiler as well. And as stated above, Mtech or M5 rep kits. If you are thinking about doing quad exhaust, might wanna do that at the same time as the kit. (M5) Good luck!

Do You Guys Think If I lower The Car - It will still Look Nice? I Never Lowered an E60 - I have owned many E46's and Noticed When I Lowered The car with 19s and a H&R Sport Springs That my Ride Got Better - It had a much better feel - Will I have the same Feeling If I lower My 535I - Also Does anyone know how much the dinan software will run
