My Ride: 2012 535i M Sport Package
You don't see many e60 with chrome...I don't mind it at all 
Most members here don't like any kind of bling on e60...I think some things like rims are not too bad.
OK guys...I said it

My Ride: 2004 545i - 6 speed manual (July 04 build), silver-grey/black, sports package std equipment (18", active roll, active steering, adaptive headlights), premium sound, bluetooth enabled, folding rear seat, lumbar, 3m hood/bumper protective film, rear tint, euro reflectors.
I am partial to aluminum and even high polished aluminum, but not chrome.
I think there are some rims that look good in chrome - but not BMW OEM rims.
But, whatever makes you feel good about your car.
