Those look good, however, I agree with Pkorkis, the wheels should have been contrasted somewhat with the look it is a bit overwhelming.
22" wheels are nice to look at but for the performance enthusiast you sacrifice a ton of performance and comfort. Not to mention that in this person's case they have a serious liability riding under them. If they get bent, curbed or stolen that is a pretty penny for replacement.
I would have much rather seen a clean, properly setup 20" wheel & tire package which complements the vehicle and gives it a clean aggressive look. We try to achieve a look as if the car could have come that way from the factory if they only would upgrade from the get go.
That setup is gaudy and too bling bling. It is a BMW not an Escalade!

My Ride: 2006 530i.... Saphire Black Metallic...19 inch Axis Milanos....Auburn dakota interior.....ACS rear lip spoiler... And a whole lot of head turns ;)
mind you this is my other car, not my e60, its strictly a comp car, i do drive it occasionaly but other than that its a garage queen.
oh i definately know what you mean about the stealth etc, thats why i bought the e60
so i have the trunk space 
.
As for gaudy, i beg to differ, alot of thought and preparation went into this setup, as for sound staging, imaging etc... what you see has a purpose not to be "BLING"
