There is a pic of an amethyst metallic in the "colors" section of e60.net that has chrome 123s. I think it looks pretty good.

Great pics, not a true fan of the amethyst vehicle with the chrome wheels. I like the asanti's or dpe.

Tha'ts a good question for iceman, what type of suspension are you using? Coilovers? Springs? looks pretty low, ilove the look, i would love to drop my car that low im just not sure if 1.2 is enough or go with the sport 1.4, does .02 make that much of a difference on the drop?

I can't answer that question either.. Cause those M5 pics are from 6speedonline.. i wish that was my M5
Iceman, how is your ride coming along, mine is still at the VPC and you're right the closer it gets to me the more anxious i get. I hate it. I can't wait any longer. I want it now. now nownown wnwoenrowenoiakndflsanl;fdsaasdjflkjn. See how frustrated im getting
Anyhow, BMW just through a big blow my way and said it would take 2 weeks for my car to clear through VPC 
2 more darn weeks. Others are telling me 7 days. Who the hell knows nowdays, my SA is a complete jerkoff, he said my car wasn't even on port yet, which is not true, according to many sources it's been here since the 29th. He said it's scheduled to land on the 4th boy is he off. Anyhow, he stated "the information im getting is from ED, and i really don't have the time to research if your car has arrived" BMW NA said that probably because i did get a killer deal that is why the dealership wasn't really helpful.Anyway im done bitching, wrong forum anyway. More chromies please!!!

those are not springs though they are coilovers, right? id didn't know that they made a 2 inch drop on just springs. I will plan on getting mine done through eurorev installed and painted for 2250 not a bad price i dont think.
pics would be great
