Plans sound awesome Mark, look forward to seeing the change!
How about getting the 19" 172's and having them powder-coated or painted gloss/satin black?
Pingu - That kit looks awful!
The non-wide version looks alot more suited to the E60 IMO. The arches dont follow the lines of the car very well and make it look "cheap" (Although its probably not!!)

I cant stand the wide arch version either 
The thing I like in the Hamann pics I posted are that the car looks super agressive, jaw droppingly gorgeous without looking like a ricers car, the wide kit over steps that boundary I think
I need those Hamann Rimz so bad it almost makes me feel ill lol.
I like the 172's, maybe matt black with those would look nice ........ hmmmm, as a placeholder of course

So.....all the UK crew!
Hopefully when the weather picks up in March/April and we dont spend 15 minutes every morning scraping the ice off the windscreen....how about getting together for a UK meet?
It would probably be best somewhere Central so everyone has a reasonable travel time.
Any ideas on when, where & what?
Best to take into mind people who might be travelling a few miles, parking, cost, any weather permitting activities & so on & so forth.
I would suggest Leicester as a location as it smack bang middle of the M1....but to be fair theres not much to do round here!
Look forward to seeing some interest and ideas!

, although parking there is pants. So lets have some more suggestions and votes! It'd be nice to have a UK E60 meet before the F10 come out

Yer I guess F10 owners will hardly wanting to be going out in public for a good while eh
I'm sure most of you know about the x-amount of amazing curry houses in Leicester, but parking at most places is poor and so is service for larger groups.
They get kind of arrogant when theres alot of people!
What are options for visiting a track?
I've only ever been to Modified car shows so wouldn't know whats involved with visiting a track on a non-event day?
Glad there is some interest though!
Mark - Get a set of 172's powdercoated. they would look amazing on your car!

There's always the Midlands Breakfast Club at RAF Cosford, just off the M54 (Telford). Great location, location and photo opportunity. Just been with the Babybmw.net last weekend and was very good (if cold).
