It looks good, very clean and OEM. But if I am understanding you correctly, you don't actually want that and would prefer to have the mods stand out?

I agree with JG525 and DK rims make a big difference but if you wanna add a little sportyness to it pick up the AC schnitzer roof and trunk spoiler. that sets 5s apart more like subtle elegance

Yea, I mean dont get me wrong...I love the look but now I feel like its time for aggressive mods that actually stand out more you know?

People don't notice the mods because they are subtle and belong, they have nothing to compare it too. They probably look and just think it's a sweet ass Bimmer. If it was beside a bone stock 5 then they would notice, how could you not!

I dunno what you're complaining about, lol. Your ride looks so clean! I know what you mean though, you sort of want to stand out and turn heads.

We pretty much have the same car except I went with 166s instead of 172s.

I say go for Orion V2s and a front lip. Or, go nuts and wrap your entire car in matte black or something similar!
