My Ride: 1985 325e (sold it in 1996) // 2001 Z3 2.5 / White / Blk Lthr / 5-spd (wife's) // 04 530i / Metallic Blk / Beige Lthr / 6-spd / Logic7 / 19" 166 Michelin Pilot Sp
Wow, very understated, yet damn mean looking. Like something out of The Road Warrior. Something about it makes me think it's one of the best looking e60s I've seen on these boards. And that's saying a lot. Not sure I'd lower it, either. Something about it as is looks more, not sure the word, 'capable.' Very very nice.

Thanks for all the comments guys. The wheels are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 VMR V710 with a matte black powdercoat that I bought from John (Brabus). The grill I got from Nerweezy at Trinity and the fitament is perfect. Exhaust is Meisterschaft GT with matte black powdercoated tips that I got from ACG in San Diego. I'm almost done for now. I'm going to order some lighting from John very soon and possibly some sort of air filter from whoever. I don't want to go too crazy because my wife drive it to work 5 days a week.

Looks good. Ride height is fine, if you want to avoid curb rash on the front bumper cover. I have the stock sport ride height. It's low enough for city garages, speed bumps, driveways, flat-bed tow trucks (they won't reimburse for scratched bumper covers if non-stock), and snow.
