My Ride: 2007 550i. Sapphire Black Metallic/Auburn Leather/Anthracite trim. Sport/Comfort Access/Navigation/Satellite/HD Radio/HUD/Premium Sound/M Aero Kit/with 50% tint sides & rear. 19" Style 166s.

Okay here are the picks of my "conservatively pimped" 550i.

I had the Michelins wrapped on the OEM 166s a week after I got the car. It adds a totally different look. Much more aggressive. I love it. The tires are smooth and extremely "sticky".

I'm not really broke, but I think I've spent enough money...for a while.

Anyway, here are some pics. There are more in the gallery (see the link in my signature).

Congratulations on everyone's e60 in whatever configuration or stage of modification!

Congrats!! The third pic in your thread is simply awesome. Magazine quality. BMW should pay you for that one.

I really like the rims and might join you on that. If your car is black which I think it is, the auburn interior choice is peerless.

yeah, those rims look pretty wicked on the black....very nice......everyone seems to like the Michelin PS2's.......it's got me thinking......while the Bridgestone runflats have been no problem for me, I did notice a week ago at a meet and greet while driving a wee bit hard....they didn't really grab as well as I would have liked......

Thanks MiHusky. I appreciate your advice on the wheel purchase. We've got to get us all Michiganders together one day.

Thanks everyone. I've been taking these early morning pictures, but soon I'll have to take some evening and nighttime shots. I can only imagine a TiAg 5-series at night under lights. It must be stunning!
