Although I do agree that people can express their own creativity in building their cars, be realistic fellas. When you drive by one of those cars you're probably shaking your head inside thinking that they've just ruined the luxurious and sporting nature of the E60.

i was browsing on car domain and saw a couple 5ers that made me want to shoot the owner. Our classy cars do not deserve to be treated and made look like ricers, they do not need to be sittin on 22s, and they do not need a cheesy a** body kit on them.

thought id share with my fellow e60 members

first one has a ugly and overdone bodykit
next three have 22s
last one has a fart pipe?

whats wrong with the world?

- The 2nd one would be okay if the wheels were not chrome, and if it was lowered.

- The 4th one used to belong to my friend Mario from MHT Wheels. Overall, I think the car looks good except the deisgn of the wheels. Since that pic, he changed the wheels to other 22's, and then got rid of the car.

Come on guys!

Who draws the line where a "ricer" begins. I wouldn't do any of that, but ... what ever boils their crawfish works for them.

And maybe they look good it their neighborhood!

Mario's car is actually one of the few, if not the only one, that was done tastefully with the 22s and Zenetti body kit. The sound system in his trunk was top notch too. He's a member on this board as Wheelzplus but he's probably not that active anymore because, like Sam said, he sold his car.

I would have to strongly disagree with you... I myself would not do any of those mods. but then again those arent my cars.. You dont make their payments so dont judge their decissions on their mods, just becuase they are not your taste, doesnt mean that they are an embarassment..

your car's sexxy



In certain instances, like thats black one, i think the 22s look fine, imo 21" ftmfw on e60s, like the dude on his m5... (name... forgot, help... lol)



Nice example of 21s...
