C,
I told my gf last night "I bet by the 5th post someone will recommend shadowline trim lol" I am one of those rare people that actually like the chrome grills and trim on a white bmw. Im considering the shadowline trim but decided to wait for out meet this weekend to see it on other cars up close and take it from there. The grills def keeping it chrome..
Howitzer
The wheels are 20' Breytons GTS
Krozi
I payed $14600 for the car crashed, in addition I bought a parts car for $5000 which I used for things here and there like the 3 doors and airbags to name a few and then sold the remaining car for $3500. I have no idea how much the BMW bill will be .. honestly to scared to ask lol So Im around $20k for the car total with mods but the best part is NO CAR PAYMENTS on a 2008 E60 with only 5k miles when it was done and a great project for a year with good old Dad. Next up if possible x6! Oh yes!

Damn, what kind of crash was it? Looks like the front windshield was pretty smashed up. Good job with the restoration.
And don't let the haters get to you, lol. It's your car, have it look good to you, that's what matters.
Also, noticed that on the passenger side, there's some damage to the splitters?

I dont know what this guy hit... but it was the right front corner including suspension, windshield and a bit of the roof in the front. Then both driver side doors replaced and passenger rear door replaced. It prob would have been a 2 week job max working on it fulltime.
