Do they come in 15"? I might need extra comfort for the rocky roads of Taipei! Or should I jack em up as well like a Jeep? That's one way to make your E60 famous, ya? The world's first and only off-road E60! LOL
Jim Rodgers is the guy that had this car made and he drove it around the world.
I met him and got to ride in this car/truck when he arrived in Singapore.

I've never seen a "jacked up" E60, but I have actually seen and ridden in this!

Perpetual institutionalized stupidity!
