Ha ha:-) would love an AMG engine, but unfortunately no...
I having the car lowered again Monday and I have a different set of wheels waiting to go on in March.
I sold the 20's and sticking with 19's. The 19" winter set convinced me just how much better the car feels!

@dutch530i.

I would love to put my 20inch back on. Those 18inch winterwheels i got now feels like im loosing traction everytime i put the peddle to the metal. Feels like party ballon's hehe.
My 20inches vredestein tires stick on the tarmac/asfalt like crazy. When i was on the nurnbergring it was just unbelievable how much traction they gave.
My face was hanging of my skull in everycorner! But i imagine you would buy some decent wide tires for the 19inch? Nonetheless for comfort i dont noticed any major difference... Now i only have more confidense in parking with those smaller wheels hehe.

Grtz btw im really looking forward to see al your mods!!!!

Thanks Paul, I think if I had your engine I would have kept the 20's but my 530i pulls so much better and handles better with the 19's. Curious how the handling is next week with the lower springs and my Koni sport shocks? Bet its a harder ride, but I don't mind that if its not too bad.
My new 19" summer wheels have again the same tyres as my 20's did, Falken FK452's:-) these are great! and have less chance of rubbing with their design.

Looking forward to the meet

Whats up guys!

I have finally sold my E60... IT sucks but inm happy at the same time because it was just becoming too expensive.

I now have a Baverian Technic cable which is useless for me now. It is an enthousiast cable so it allows max 3 cars, 1 has been used to you are still able to use it on 2 cars.

Give me your best offer!
