Do the wheels have a clear coat over the lips? Unlike iForged and others, they do not have a clear coat and are bare metal. They are a b@#$% to keep clean and polish. Sick looking wheels
The wheels are custom made, we can order the wheels w/ clear coat over the lip. The only disadvantage is the wheel get curb rash then you cannot just repolish the lip but have to redo the clear coat over.

I've been searching the eBay sites in Europe for those damn headlights. hahaha
How are those any different than the ones that come standard on North American spec'ed E60's?

They have clear corners whereas the E60s in the US have amber corners. I assume Canada is the same as in the US.

OK, I'm not too bright sometimes....are you saying that the muffler is an Eisenman race with four pipes? And is it for 545, or the M5 part number (yes, I know it's a V10), that's why I'm a bit confused...thanks.

Thank for the info on the tint...

If you guys are looking to upgrade the front lights to Euro spec I might be able to help... Maybe..

I'm not sure what the going rate is on ebay but I can get Euro spec BMW OEM's Xenon's for $1178 (pair) and $640 for non-Xenon's. Just thought I'd throw that out there...

Is the $1178/pair price for bi-xenons with the adaptive feature?

I lost on an eBay bid for a pair of slightly used headlights in Germany that sold for about $600 US.

I believe so... It's not the best deal in town thats for sure.. It's basically the new OEM price for the headlights that come standard on my '06 530i. The price is a quote from a German BMW dealership. I can buy them directly from my German dealership becuase I'm presently stationed in Germany (U.S. Military). What's really nice is that I don't have to pay the German tax that everyone else has to pay
