My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
So here you go:
I love the lip on those wheels and the grip of the Pilot Sports.
By Oct there will be a drop and brakes done.
***NOTE: For all SoCal members: A coworker of mine's cousin owns a body shop. I am getting a quote to do my window trim (gloss black), grilles (paint matched), and either powder coat or paint my rims gunmetal. I will see if he is willing to offer E60.net discounts, so get your donations in soon - no window clings = no discount. He is willing to do body kits as well - pricing will depend o fitment so contact Trinity or another trusted vendor to get your kit*****

Finally. I can see how nice and clean your 5er is. Thanks.
Also, thats a very good gesture of yours to offer discount to members as well as getting donations to the forum. Way to go.

I'd advise against paint-matching your grill and getting matte black instead. Shadowline trim, and suspension drop as well as a front lip or a new bumper. Then you'll be good to go!

Thanks, but I prefer the gloss black (like M5) instead of matte, same as the grilles - too many already have them, and I need to be different
