Very nice, maybe a dumb question but what stands D for ?
Going by the info on his profile, Raj has a 530D......So I think the D stands for Diesel

Looking good and tastefully modded.

I have a spare set of chrome-black grills from my previous E60, which I have been thinking of having colour-matched in Carbon Black but wasn't sure if I'd like it.... but now I know I would!! (I will keep my full-chrome grills for now, but nice to know I can apply this mod when the mood takes me )

After seeing this post, I went round to a local paintshop and asked them about painting my Chrome grills Carbon Black, but they told me it would be difficult getting the paint to stick on the Chrome

Did you have your Chrome Grills painted or did you buy some matt-black grills and have them painted?

To be honest, I have always changed the wheels on my cars to BBS (as I am a BBS whore...lol), but this time I actually like the stock rims. Am going with a more stealthy look for this baby. More wolf in sheeps clothing if you know what I mean. Did the same with my 330d. Looked stock but was running nearly 300bhp and over 420lb/ft torque.

Having said that, black wheels would look sick.
