My Ride: 2005 545i Sport, Premium, Logic 7, Jet Black, Black Leather, M-Aero Kit, 15% (very dark) Tint, Eichbach Lowering Springs, Red Brake Calipers, Radenergie R-10's, Michelin PilotSport2 in 245/35/20 and 285/30/20, Rolled Fenders, and a nifty Graco Baby Car Seat.

Yes, I painted the stock calipers red. With the R10's, you see right through the spokes to the breakes, so doing something there was important to me, and it was really easy.

Hey Cattman, we gotta catch up with each other. We've got what looks to be a couple of the few non-stock E60's down in this neck of the woods. Check out my profile and maybe we can catch a cup of coffee (or in this heat, some sweet tea) and compare notes. I've been hoping there would be at least an ATL get together before I sold the M5, which I did last week. But still get plenty of attention in the 545, actually, a bit more...
Looks nice.
Looks nice.

My Ride: 2006 JET BLACK on BLACK SPORTS PACK 5ER, with RADENERGIE R-10's @ 20"
Nice pics and I love those wheels. I like the way your red calipers reflect on the rims.

Wish I had the time for an extensive detail!!!
I'd like to see some side pics too...and your impressions of the ride
with lowering springs (before and after pics). What brand did you
go with?
