My Ride: 2005 545i /w Sport pkg - SMG - Nav - Premium pkg - PDC - Ready to begin my modding! =)
So, as with all things (especially cars) style changes, and with the new F10 out to be soon, I wonder how out of style us e60 folks will be come this time next year??? 
So I parked my car this morning on the way to work, I look back, as soo many of us do!
I noticed the light was hitting my car just right, and I could see all the right angles and shadowing of my 5er, and I thought to myself....WOW, I really love this body style. 
(not to mention the 166's) It's hard to believe, that soon there is new car coming down the pipeline. 
Although the quality of this pic is not that good (iPhone camera), I just wanted to share this morning's view of the timeless lines that our car holds with my fellow enthusiasts! Kind of reminds me of the 1995 RX-7, even if you see one on the road today its still a well thought out car!
Cheers!

My Ride: 2006 Titanium Silver 550i, with all the bells and whistles!!
Nice! I have always known that I need a trunk spoiler, now I really need one! Where did you get yours? How much to get it painted? I assume a easy self install....
PS, the 166's look great, definitely my favorite wheels for an e60,

Thx!!
Bought my ACS replica spoiler from a vendor on ebay a few years back, I think I paid $100 from what I can remember, then took it to a local shop to have it prepped and painted for like $75. Bought a little double sided tape and some BetaLink from the stealership, and walla!! Easy, cheap mod that pays off in styling......especially here in CO, where you hardly ever see any modded out e60's!
Well worth it, if you ask me!

Your car looks great! 
I tend to think that the E60 is and will continue to age gracefully!
