First post on this forum.

I have a 2005 530i, great car.
M5 Body kit
20's
Matte Black wrap over Alpine white.
Tint

It's no race car but I love it anyway.
It's my personal Batmobile ( LOL )

Anyway, it's good to be here with all you knuckelheads.

Show some more pics, man!

I think you might get some crap over those heavy-ass dubs, but I kinda dig them, dude. I've always liked a heavy-looking wheel - maybe my 3rd world country roots


Anyway, is it a Sport Pk? It really is NO "racecar", but it can sure move through some curves - if you haven't discovered it yet, I highly recommend! Set up a little empty parking lot course or hit some driving events - the car will grow on you even more! Enjoy!

PS oh, and I might as well save everyone else the trouble and point it out to you: your rear bumper is not M5 - it is M tech

Thanks for the welcome Madd Russian, M Tech it is.

When I wrapped the car I wrapped the wheels at the same time.
When I got to the right rear the wrap didn't work because the wheel
has curb rash ( this was my wife's car before I hijacked it ) so I pulled all the vinyl
off of the wheels. I wrapped the car in April of 2009.

I don't know... I like it!

But matte black wheels would def complete the look. Powdercoat them!

You know it's a tough call. Go with what's been done over and over to death do us part ?
This car has evolved, revolved and now it's about to disolve.
I am seriously concidering pulling the wrap off, then putting a set of late model M5 wheels on it.

Clean it up.

I'm having a hard time letting go of the whole Euro- Trash look though.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...............
