I too have zaino products (hes my uncle..lol)looks great
Like Mel wrote above, some spacers on the rear would enhance an already great look. 10mm is what you need and will then make your M5 rims with ET28 near enough the same offset as the M6 version of the rim with ET17. (You do not need to worry about rubbing either!!)

Thank you for all the comments. However, I do not have any more mods planned, for now at least. I achieved the look I wanted and the car's performance has already exceeded my greatest expectations. I appreciate the time, money and effort many of you put in to make your E60s unique, but here in New Orleans, there are just very few places to take an E60 for a professional modification. There's only one local BMW dealer and, in my experience at least, they "back burner" performance, comfort or cosmetic modifications behind standard service work. When my local SA tells me that Style 166 rims with 245/35/19 will not fit the front, that he will not put them on because they will definitely rub the wheelwell and even if he made the change, absolutely would not transfer the TPMS sensors...that's what I'm dealing with.

I use Don as my SA, he's the best one I have found. Fairly knowledgable about the cars and a nice guy as well.EDIT: And don't put the St. Martin's magnet on that car!

My Ride: 2009 535i, Deep Sea Blue Metallic, Grey Dakota Leather, OEM Style 166 rims, Dunlop Direzza 245/35/19 front, 275/30/19 rear, 35% tint sides, 20% tint rear.
I appreciate that, kscarrol. Good to know someone over there, if not in person than by name. Trust me, the STM magnet will not be on my car! My wife's SUV...maybe. Thank you all for the complements. Can't believe I waited this long before buying a BMW. The car goes from docile to beast in a split second.
