Hi Folks,
I picked up my E60 *with* Vehicle Distribution Center //M-Body Kit installation about a week ago and still can't take my eyes off of it!
Here's a couple of pics with clear bra and window tint installed:

I love the M-aero kit and Style 166 rims, but I'd feel a little inadequate if and when a real M5 rolled up next to me.

CoolTones----looks great!!! Did you put the 124s on after you got it home or did you have them do it at the VPC?? Because you can't order it with 124s in the US, correct??

? ? I wish someone would post a pic of the whole rear of the car directly behind the car from down low so you can see how the tires look from the rear with the m kit versus the normal bumper.

I have pics from this angle with both the stock M135 wheels, and the wider M172 wheels.

My Ride: 535D Sport Auto
I was really happy with my SE model (excluding the colour schemes) until I saw the M sport version which I fell in love with right there and then. I got my order in straight away. The only issue I had with it was, IMHO, the rather narrowish looking 245 rear tyres so I ordered the 172's with 275 rear tyres and now believe I have (in the real world) a fantastic looking car! Still like the SE looks as well.
