Here are a few late afternoon few pics.
I've only had the car three days so am being very careful to run it in properly.
One heck of a difficult task I might add.
I love the sound of this V8 and the torque is incredible. What a car!!

Thanks for all the compliments.
To answer the various questions:
As correctly pointed out, these wheels were taken from my previous 530i, hence the slightly used PS2's. Here's a link to some pictures of the same wheels on my Carbon Black 530i

The ride on the 19" non runflats is very nice. Responsive but not nearly as harsh as the 18" runflats.
The 172 rims were sprayed with the chrome shadow effect and apart from looking good, after several days of driving I can DEFINITELY confirm that they eliminate 99% of the stress caused by brake dust.
The camera used for the pics is a Nikon D70.
As requested, more pics below...
