Looking good! Not sure if M5s come with run flats but perhaps by sticking with same size wheel/tires but in non-run flat the effect of coil over ride is cancelled out so you get best of both worlds?

God Damn!
+1 !!!

I know this post was about the wheels, but that paint is incredible -- probably the deepest blue I've seen... do you need a life guard next to it in case people fall in!?

I took my camera with me to the office and snapped some pictures of how the car is sitting. I picked up some 19" BBS LM last weekend, i have to say.. the car F L Y S. One of the lightest wheels I've ever owned.. I'm looking for 20" BBS LMs or I'll still go on the hunt for the 20" HREs.. (540..840..590..)

I still have my HRE 545 for sale if anyone wants them, send me a PM.

BTW: KWv3 = Rides better then stock. I wish I bought these before I spent a dime on RD Springs.

Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks in advance.

Looking fantastik! I love the color and even though I am blue cousin, I love your whole setup. Would be interested in tires for my e39, do you have some pics? What tint do you have I a looking to get tint.

the m5 doesn't come with run flats.. the coil overs are just a whole different world.

Thanks. I met you at euro rev i think. I sold the BBS LMs last night, sorry. I have 15% tint all around.

I would get 20%.. 15% is a little dark.
