Nice work Andy she looks bloody beautiful!
By the way how do you find driving her in your clogs, does the extra weight of the wood help with the downward pressure on the accelarator?

It looks quite good .
I have always some doubts about the 167 : they are nice, they don't look bad, Nick's car looks good .. But imho they are a little too sporty for the E60

Hadn't heard anything from you for a while... Nick was over in the country... and then this post! It all becomes clear 
Its totally transformed the car -- looks much more purposeful now, rather than the more exec. look with the chrome trim / no tints etc. I bet the shaddow line looks great, shame you can't really see it in the pics... something new to check out at the next Meet
19s for winter is the way forward! Knowing how you like to keep your car looking immaculate, you may want to consider have the M172s anodized for a similar finish to the M167s, to save you going nuts everytime you look at your ride in winter
Good work mate

Alex 167s are looking AWESOME on a black E60 ...even better if there are some M5 brakes behind them

Maybe if black . But on a dark blue, with beige interior, imho you have to put 166, not 167 .
