I think it's an interesting idea. Have you seen any pics of pinstripped E60s? Anyone good with photoshop?

Any modification is very subjective. With that being said, I have not pinstriped mine and never would. Good luck with your decision!

I havent and I think that people are semi-closed mined when it comes to pinstripping. Some also told me to put fuzzy dice in my front window. Just because its a BMW doesn't mean that you cannot pinstripe it.

you used to be able to get bmw dealers to pinstripe your car, but that was over 10 years ago...

i'm not feeling it right now.

I am probably not going to do it, but I was wondering what people thought about it.

All I can say is that pinstriping is very 1986. So maybe it is fine for you since you like that year

Pinstriping is very passe. With the wonderful contours of the e60's beautiful body, I would not do it.
