My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
Right now my car looks like this:
I've been thinking about getting some sideskirts, bc I don't like how the stock ones make the side look heavy. The obvious choice is the m-tech/M5 skirts or some other non-vented, elegantly simple set that will reduce the visual mass. I'd paint them to match the car too.
Also, I'm adding a black vynil roof sometime soon - not a huge challenge to visualize, I think. So, what do you guys think - should I bother with the sides?

I thought you were selling your ride?
Decided to keep it?
M Tech kit in the future?? (Probably not given one of your posts a little while ago) but are you now thinking of doing it?
Black roof on an AW E60 looks great.

The roof is a good idea. But the side skirts should go with a new bumper. Why not getting the Umnitza front? That's seem to be very popular lately, plus it's not that expensive.

Seriously, I'd sell, but all I get is low-ball offers, so looks like I'm gonna be driving it a lil' while more - might as well mod, right?
pretty much decided, just need to find a decent place to do this
and get the "budget approved"
