The sun actually came out at the weekend, so finally here are some decent pics of my pride and joy -- hope you like them
(More pics in my Gallery)
I fitted the OEM black chrome tail pipes. They give it a clean look IMHO, but I might go back to the chrome tips for a little more contrast. Seeing as it only takes 5 minutes to swap them over, I will just keep the other tips in the boot and swap them as the mood takes me.
I am seriously considering getting some OEM 20s (M101 or type 32) and use the 128s for winter again, but when I see my car on days like today, I thinking why bother upgrade?!
As always, comments and ideas on how I can burn even more money on my car are appreciated![Wink](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/wink.gif)

That is very very lovely car! Nice mods you have done.
The rims are perfect for your baby with those wide rubbers! I wouldn´t change them to 20`s...
Gotta love the autobahn. Year ago when I drove back from Israel to Finland I drove through Germany and it was sooooo cool to floor it

Over here we have an easier way of doing that... its called Alpina B5 / B5S ![Devil](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/devil.gif)
Its on my possible next cars list, but for now whilst living in car tax and insurance hell (aka Denmark), I'm sticking with the 550![Wink](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/wink.gif)
Thanks for sharing mate

I have my eyes on a set of 20" Radial 32s (look like Alpina rims), but like you said, the current set-up also looks good. I would use the 128s in winter again and sell my M172s, then use the 20s for summer. Its just that mod bug driving me![Wacko](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/wacko.gif)
As for the autobahn, I went to German at the weekend and hit the autobahn at around 08:30 on Sunday morning
Its just such a kick being able to floor it at any speed and not having to worry about speed cameras. That was a great way to start the day

WOW - nice car and with Danish numberplates! RESPECT (From a fellow tax'ed Dane)
The B5 is my favourite car.. A touring with child seats and the dog going 300 km/h down Europe :-) That is serious!
I have the spoiler kit in my basement that are just waiting to get mounted and I am looking for the wheels!
