It was great meeting you Alpine! I can't get over how stiff your steering wheel was... I still don't know why! Anywho, another quickie photoshoot! This thread should be stickied!
Anyone who is having trouble deciding between M166 vs M167, check out these photos. It's a toss up for me. Both rims look beautiful!

Gyus you cars look great
In my opinion , (and here is the proof)
166s are the best looking wheels for a light color E60
whereas, 167s are the best looking rims for a dark color E60.
Now, talking about quality subject, 167s are the most tech advanced BMW wheels (much lighter - much stronger) and that's the reason why BMW uses them as standard wheels on the M6 and as the highest level accessory wheels on the M5

I'm just messing with you. I do agree though. I showed these pictures to some of my other car guys and its been 50/50 with the rims. Half like the white, half like the blue.
