Hi All,

First off, thank you all for the wealth of valuable information in this site! I've definitely learned a great deal about our E60s through this Forum!

I've been browsing for a while now, and just wanted to intro myself with some pics. Sorry for the poor pic quality -- it doesn't do this beautiful day we're having in Vancouver any justice!

For the locals, the pics were taken up at Burnaby Mountain.

Hope you like them, and all thoughts/comments/questions are welcome and greatly appreciated!

Rich

Nice pictures. The mods look nice.
Do you have the sport package or just an ///M aerodynamics kit? The sport package only comes with shadow line trim in US models. The chrome trim looks nice with that color.

Great pictures!

I like that color very much also. Can you tell how difficult is it to keep good looking compared to a black car? Dirt, swirl marks, scratches...
It's quite dark after all...

Nice pixs. Mods are great. I hope to get the MTech mods this summer. I like the fenders with the grills on them.

Thank you all for the feedback so far -- much appreciated!

Richard in NC -- Hello, from a fellow Richard in Vancouver! I have the prem-pack, but not the sport-pack. It's lowered on HR Sports with the full M-tech aero kit and Hammann front-lip.

Anzafin -- although this color (Platinum Grey) is quite dark, it's actually very good at hiding swirls, fine scratches, dust etc. I've had a couple black cars, and it's nothing like that in terms of showing swirls, scratches, dust etc.

B M What -- the pics were taken today, I just haven't bothered with updating the time/date settings in my cam.

That is beautifully put together....One of the cleanest modified E60's I've seen. Great job
