My Ride: 2006 E60 530 xi six speed manual/Silver gray-auburn/18inch-style123wheels/premium sound and package/HUD/PDC/sport/coldpackage/Sirius/M-aero kit/Nav/comfortseats/shades/comfort access
tires: 245 40 18 Sottozero Pirelli winters (non runflats)
2004 RX330 Lexus - crystal white - reliable, quiet, and the "beater" car for ski trips, hauling, etc.

I just saw a 2004 530i in the lot today - silver gray / black - with the sports package/wheels (123) -
even without the M-aero modification the car is so sweet and so much better than the stock wheels -
IMHO for a small price it is worth it!! the car in person with these wheels is fantastic. you cannot even compare with
my only concern is how high the 530xi will appear compared with the 530i - using the same 123 wheels-
there are pictures around but the photos can be deceptive....i know the ride height is only a cm or more higher and the cD is a bit higher as a result, but some of the pictures make it seem like it's a lot higher....
Is there anyone out there with a good side photo of a 525 or 530xi with the 123 wheels???

beautiful car - anyone out there with a non-touring 530xi or 525xi with the same wheels?
it seems like the touring version isn't riding as high as the sedan, from what I have seen in pictures -
does anyone know for sure?

Very nice and sober.
I had wheels 45 on my 320d that gave it the same appearance (although not close to this one, of course!).
