Thanks for all the replies. They match my order of preference.
I was hoping that I was going to be able to convince myself that the cheaper mod would still be ok. But hey, its never worked in the past so why should it work now!
Hopefully I can get the M101s for sensible money. I might put a very low bid on the 149s none the less.

I think these look pretty good on an e60, not sure what style they are;

Hey, who turned my 7er 20s post into a 7er 19s post!
The 95s are also nice, but I am considering 20s to fill the arches more, because I do not want to lower the car due to inner city use. So another set of 19s wouldn't help me in that respect and I also prefer the two sets of OEM 19s that I am running at the moment, namely the 128s and M172s (summer / winter).
Mrs xBMWx actually prefers the 149s, as she doesn't like "those bolts" on the M101... I tried explaining 3-piece rims to her, but soon gave up
Well at least its a small step in the right direction

Please do!
I am negotiating prices on a set of M101s and a set of Radial 32s -- they're not cheap -- damned OEM obsession of mine
So maybe I'll also have a set by the end of the week, just not sure which ones to go for now. The Radial 32s were always my favourite, but now that I am confronted with the choice, its making me go
