Sorry, I don't like it. It looks like you painted the car with primer or the paint you use to paint the two garages in the background.

It would look much better like this: https://5series.net/forums/private-m...-tires-127615/

To each his own. I don't necessarily like the car either to be quite honest but it's an A to B machine and hopefully someone will do a nice job t-boning this car too. Perhaps you wear glasses but those are two totally different shades of grey. I take it you've never seen a grey primer.

You asked for an opinion and I gave it to you. Sorry if you have to counter punch with insults. If the car gets dirty or dusty, it will match up closer to the grey primer color, especially without an M-tech or M5 Body Kit. Look at the link I provided and you will understand what I meant. Sorry to hurt your feelings.

hahha ok. So I guess asking someone if they wear glasses is an insult in this day and age. Again, automotive primer is a completely different shade of grey though. If i wanted a silver car, I'd go purchase one. if i want to change the color next week I will. you can never hurt my feelings. You can take a baseball bat to the car 100x and I will laugh. cheers

Don't mean to be disrespectful, but that is really bad. I think you would have to stop a thousand people on the street to find one that likes it.

But... if you're selling it and that one in a thousand happens along you've got a winner!

Right now the only important thing is that the present owner likes it.

I've gotten nothing but compliments so far but to each his own (that was about 8 compliments to first spotters) Personally I don't like it, I don't dislike it. To me it's just another ride to drive around 1 or 2 days a week. i don't see the point in painting it nicely when damage is bound to happen that it gets damaged and hopefully totaled. But even so I always keep my things nice even though I don't care about them so much.

I think it's a good start, it would look pretty badass if you left the roof gloss black for some contrast. Other than that, the wrap job is pretty damn good.

Not bad, I've seen MUCH worse E60s. Not a big fan of the black wheels however.

Agreed, here in the OC I saw a matte black E60 with matte black wheels and everything else, made me want to vomit.
