Looks pretty good, but the Xi still rides too high IMO. The Xi models look like they are on stilts to me. Get the car dropped by about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch and some new wheels and your car will look amazing.

You know - I am really worried about getting stuck in snow. I have always owned 4x4s for winter driving - but with the new job and the long commute - I want to feel confident I can get where I am going without having to break out the F150 because the forecast has snow iin it.
Maybe after a year or so of experience I will feel better about lowering it. New wheels are definitely in the future at some point.

Just had the M Aero Kit installed by BMW of Newport. Total price was $3,700 (including Garry's 25% discount on parts). The photos aren't great but they will have to do for now til I can find the time to take some better ones.
You cant do an M-Tech equipped E60 like that?!?!?!?!

Looks good. Just had the M-kit installed on my xi, it really tranforms the look of the car. You will need to do some research before picking up different wheels for the car. The high offset of the xi's will not allow you to run any of the wheels suggested above (at least not the OEM versions). If you need more info, just search the forum or PM the expert on the topic - C's Bimmer. Running winter tires on the stock 17's is a good call and works well.
Good luck.
