New e60 owner as of a month ago..all I've done until the rims is upgrade the fogs..(thanks to the member here that posted to DIY pics).. Mine is a 2004 TiSi/Black 545i Sport - 6MT - Sport/Prem/Cold - Ipod - L7 - PIAA 4150 Fogs..
Thanks to many of the posters here that invest so much helpful info to the forums, it was quite helpful when it came time to make my purchase..
Anyhow, here are some pics of the rims, took a while to get the color right but they came out great and I just got them back on last night. At night they look really dark and depending on the light sometimes like a dark plum or a dark chocolate brown.. kind of crazy but I really enjoy them..in the overcast sky today they look great. Should be interesting to see on a sunny day...
Enjoy..

Welcome aboard Tennessee! Thanks for the pics. You've learned well... Don't talk about mods etc. unless you are gonna post pics. Quick learner grasshopper! Now you MUST change the kidneys to black. I have the silver on black... but still have stock 124's. The black kidneys look much cleaner, IMO. On your car... A MUST! Remove about 30 torx screws and the radiator covers and it is a piece of cake. 30 minutes tops and no busted knuckles!
