Hey guys, a few days ago i traded in my 2008 328i with 29k miles for a 2008 528i with 30k miles. Payments are the same but i went from having a 3.5yr fiance to a 6yr fiance. Taxes were transferred over so for the most part it was an even trade with a longer payment plan. I plan on only keeping the car for 2-3 yrs, hence why i did the 6yr for a lower payments. Anyways here is some pics of the car. I was a e90post member but it looks to me like this site is more active for e60's. I hope you guys can answer any questions i have. As far as mods planned i am going to be doing vinyl the roof gloss black as well as the chrome trim around the windows. I also plan on putting gloss black vinyl on the chrome part of the kidneys. I currently have miro m6 reps sitting in my house and I am not sure if i should put them on. What do you guys think? Also I will also plan the m tech kit in the future. Can someone point me in the right direction to purchase a kit that will be a close fit and a decent price. Thanks

I loved these wheel. If I have them I'm putting them on.
So what do you think about drive quality between E90 and E60, power, noise, stability control on sharp turn, and ect.?

Personally not a modder but welcome to the forum. I like the White/Nat. Brown combo. I have Nat.Brown as well and love the feeling of interior space with the lighter colour.

The e60 drives so much smoother on bumps and has a great quality ride. The noise is very quiet. My 3 was a coupe and i feel like the handling is less stiffer compared the the 5. I liked how you could hit exit ramp turns at a decent speed but in the 5 you have to slow down a bit. But the car is great!

Im still debating. I originally planned on putting them on a 328i coupe but now that i have the 5 series I'm not sure. If any one could pull a pic of that on a alpine white that would be awesome. I was thinking of maybe getting m5 reps or something else maybe a stronger wheel. What would you recommend?
