Nice Car, Plan B. 
1. Are those 19's and what size tires are you running?
2. By any chance, did you drop it or are you running after market coilover, etc...
3. Post another pic with the side view if you have time.
Thanks, man!
Guys, keep them coming with preferably titanium silver color 5'ers.

My Ride: 2006 Titanium Silver BMW 530iA, Sport & Premium Package, Active Steering, Anti-Roll-Suspension, Adaptive Headlight, Navigation, OEM M-Tech Kit, Authentic RD Trunk Spoiler, VIP Modular Wheels: 245/35/20; 275/30/20, OEM M Trunk Finisher.
Okay guys, almost every one are going with 20's because they look "best" on our E60's. To me, looks can eventually fade away if you can not enjoy the comforts of driving your car every day, cities to cities and states to states. With that said, I have decided to go with hypersilver Miro 111. The wheels specs I will go with will be 18x8.5, ET20 for the front and 18x9.5,ET 20-Rear. Since I just bought new tires recently, can I put 245/40/18 in the front and 285/40/18 in the rear? Currently, I am running 18's on OEM BMW sport suspensions and I am happy with the current gaps between the tires and fenders.
With the new wheels and tire sizes I have mentioned, will they make my car look more aggressive and solid? And would I need to run spacers or do anything to avoid hurting my current suspensions or compromise with performance? Please be brutally honest and subjective if you have to!
Thank you in advance!

DPE's definitely FTW
Michael, all this showcasing of all the DPEs in this thread made me want MT20's again! Thank God I don't have a more powerful car, or I'd probably be writing you an email right now !
