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

Thanks for sharing mate 
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 
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
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
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!
