My Ride: 2010 M5 alpine white, black full leather, etc.
I am soooo happy! Those blasted hard rubber cylinders are gone at last replaced with Michelin Sport Pilot plus A/S. The difference in ride is 1000% better.
All my best advisers insisted I stay with my 124s because of driving in and around NYC. Aesthetically, I wanted to change to M6 wheels, but the potential problems with potholes together with offset issues persuaded me otherwise. The 124s are not bad looking after all. As I have only 11,000+ on the vehicle there are many miles of fun yet to be enjoyed. Especially, this Saturday at Bear Mtn!

If I wasn't in NYC. I'd agree, but city road conditions plus low profile tires plus larger wheel diameter are a recipe for trouble.
See you on the weekend!

My Ride: See my signature
124s are nice, clean-looking wheels. They look great on the E60.
I love my 172s on my 550. But every time I go over a pothole in NYC, I have visions of the wheel getting bent or cracked or the tire being damaged. And the potholes lately have been absolutely vicious this spring in Manhattan.
