NICE.... I really like the wheels.
Don't mean to hijack..
Those that have dropped an E60..
How much do you usually drop it?
How much does that effect the ride.?
This is not a sports car, so to me I'd drop it effectively to improve aesthetics with minimum effect on the ride quality..

with regards to the drop, what suspension do you have now?
I personally would put the M-Sport bumpers/sills on first, then decide if needs a drop and if yes, by how much.

thanks for all the advice and compliments - going for some light tint sat - then debating "drop" vs "m5 front bumper and sides" - prolly gonna have to wait a lil - just spent a bunch on this stuff

nice choice on tires, I really like the generals great price for performance tires that last forever.
I hate to agree with everyone on here but I think your next mod should be lowering... Maybe some tinted glass.

IMHO, the M5 bumper and sideskirts won't look as good if the car is not lowered. So next I would do is drop it. Also dropping it won't cost as much as the bodykit + paint and install.
