My Ride: 2008 Alpine White 550i Sport, Cream Beige Interior, 6-Sp Manual - retired 9/2011
Wheels look great, and the M-tech will make it look "complete." I'd do it too if I weren't leasing. Who would buy an M-tech for a leased car, anyway? Oh yeah...C would (and did)!

My Ride: 525d M Sport in Carbon Black
Nice wheels but not to my liking, I've seen a similar set here in Scotland, I believe they were genuine Schnitzer, they show to much brake disc etc for me.
Incidently... whats with 'Pull the trigger' ? is that some sort of gangster drug related term? I usually just make a decission then purchase items

sorry for asking such a noob question, but what are miros? is it a nickname for the m6 style wheels or something?
Miro is a brand/company that makes knockoff wheels. From what I have read, their imitation wheels are some of the better among the knock off group.
Here are some of their wheels: MiroWheels

My Ride: E61 530d Sport Man
An E60 sedan with M6 rims to me will always look like a really nice car with rims off of another really nice car. Again, no disrespect but I'm just not feeling it.
I have just fited some 18" reps on my E61 and think they look ok. Getting shot of the runflats has made the car so much better.

We often have to "bite the bullet" before "pulling the trigger" and making tough choices. We don't want to "go off half-cocked" or "shoot from the hip" either. Sometimes we do, and just hope there's no "smoking gun" to prove we did. If you need further US (Wild West) lingo clarification, please feel free to "fire at will" or "shoot me a PM" if you don't feel like "shooting your mouth off" to the whole forum. I better stop now before someone gets fed up and comes after me with "guns blazing," or let's me have it with "both barrels!"

BTW, a lot of people might have the M Kit but that's because it looks aweseome. GET IT!
