NO! It cheapens the look of the car. (if you like it though who care what anyone else thinks)
Just my 2 cents...stripes should only be on 60's and 70's muscle cars!

I think the stripes look good on that model 5er, but I don't think it'll flow with the lines of the e60. Anybody with PS skills who can replicate this on an e60?

It's cool for about an hour. After that, you'd get sick of it. Do it in decal form as 5er sport suggested. Thats the move and also the way most stripes on the high end cars are done.

I think its an awsome look but like some are saying you might get bored and then what. I did the whole custom paint think on a car of mine and it was a great paint job and beautifuly done but after about 7 months to a year i got over it and wished i had left it the way it was. But nevertheless its a good idea.

Just my 2 cents...stripes should only be on 60's and 70's muscle cars!

yes agreed! remember, E60's are sport SEDANS not race cars... you want to look like a ricer?? no way man!
sounds like you just want to change it up a bit, if thats the case get some nice rims! or an m-tech kit...
