Anthony, are you on the job or got a PBA card or two. I noticed that you don't have your original NYS front plate on the car and you got 20% window tints, thus risk getting a ticket. I love the setup and how did you black-out the amber reflectors? How is the ride with the 20" 128 replica wheels? I was going to get a set of 18" 128 replica wheels and was concerned about a discomforting ride (i.e. potholes, wheel vibrations, rim cracking).

Lookin' good. I must admit though, your E60 looks like a truck sittin' on dubs w/o the drop.

Car is looking good. I love the black roof. Alpine white is the best color.
Where did you get your ACS replica trunk spoiler? Thanks

Ouch, that black roof just does not go mate. It really stands out but in a bad way. Not like the new M3 with a sweet carbon fiber black roof that really compliments the design. If it is not too late go back to white and it is sweet.

With all those mods how did you not get the most basic and best lookin gmod for the car-shadow line trim? All that trouble for nice wheels (AWESOME wheels by the way) and did not spring for the sport package which essentially makes a bmw--a bmw.

It needs to lose the hideous black roof and get some shadowline and you will be money. Beautiful car otherwise though-great job!

Obviously a new member here, which of course, you are entitled to your opinion, but there are a few Alpine White members here who have painted their car's with a black roof. And it looks great! I would suppose based on your response, you don't like the way this AW E60 looks either:

http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry408164

As for him not getting the SP, it wasn't available when he picked his car up, so take it easy bro. If anything, he can now go with some high-gloss shadowline trim which looks even better than the standard shadowline trim on the regular sport models. And he can easily change out the suspension for some coil-overs and taylor the suspension exactly how he wants it.

Anyway, you're obviously new to the forum, so we'll be nice, but tone it down a bit. You also may want to post a few pix of your car, before you go criticizing others. Just a thought...

Oh, and welcome to E60.net!

lol. to tell everyone the truth, the shadow trim was the least of my concern when I was modding. I ghettoed it by puttting electrical tape on the chrome . it was a good job what I did tho, nobody knew it was electrical tape. it lasted for 4 months! but it started peeling so I bought it like 2 weeks ago.

Btw Anthony, beautiful car. now you got to slammed the car.

Hey Anthony,


I got the shadowline trim for about 209 shipped. Took like around an hour to install, definitely well worth it. I got it from Garry at Newport BMW.


Give him a call, it'll take about a week or less to get.


Definitely get suspension dude.


Your car looks great. I always wanted the white, but I got my silver grey instead. =)


Keep them mods coming, M5 mirrors and Quads!!
