pjinca,
other than the engine size, our cars look the same. How do you like your wheel\tire setup? you have any pics? I've thought about getting black rims with chrome lips, but I'm not sure. I'm not sure what the model number is for bmw but I really like the ones that look like a "Y" all the way around it - "mesh"???. The X5 has some really nice ones. This is sorta what I'm thinking about: http://www.performanceplustire.com/product...4606#prodAnchor

For $6300 I'll just sell my car take that cash and get an M5. Other than that Dinan mods are too pricey to be worth a damn.
you think smart

Those are nice wheels and a good choice. I went with the wheels I have for a number of reasons - the 2 most important: They are rare (I like different) and they are OEM (so no questions of quality). The Beyern are very nice wheels and many members have them and like them. I was also thinking of black with chrome lip it is still a classy yet sporty look that looks great on our cars.
More pics of my wheels are here:

For tires? If the $$$$ is there, definitely get Michelin Pilot Sports - ridiculous grip and handling.

ghostteck really does have a beautiful car. I love black cars, but the paint is soooo hard to take care of.

pjinca,
Your spoilers are nice!! You have a link to where you got them? I like the spoilers that go over the rear window the most.
