The shadowline trim will come as soon as I achieve some financial recovery.

Yes, by all means I agree with you. The first chrome deletion is matte black grilles which I ordered from Nerwyll and which should be here by next Tuesday...

Screw buying it. Just rip a shadowline set off another E60 with a flat head screw driver and some pliers. It's pretty easy and the alarm won't go off.
On the same note, as a plan B, the CEO of my company drives a 650 on Fridays. If I work on his trim tomorrow on our company parking lot, do you think I can make it fit my e60 with the help of some electrical tape and some gentle bending?

Oh, snap! Now you've gone and did it, man! 
Car's looking better already! and yes, drop would definitely finish it off nicely!
Good going - went and did the most important thing first - the wheels. RESPECT and best of luck with the new set (assuming no vibrations, like some other members described?)

...as soon as I found that these are hubcentric with the high offset, it was an easy decision. Thanks also for all the help and
Order some shadowline and a drop also...and it'll look great!

If they are Miro's, they are not hubcentric....

Thanks! They are hubcentric and they are Miros. Only the ones with the high offset for the XI models are so... I'll send a few fellow XI owners to yell at you.
