Hey Looks great mean -
Just a tip on the low end in the trunk --
Granted bass is omnidirectional, traditional aftermarket audio equipment is intended to travel ~ 3-4 meters before reaching the ears of the driver. I'd recommend getting a thinner dynamat equivalent (for weight issues), dynamat the trunk and turn the sub around.
Looks great man! Keep up the good work and A+ decision on leaving the oem springs in the back alone. Too many people do a 4 wheel drop and it makes the e60 look horrible. You car is beautiful and well put together.

Thanks Gatriel. However, I'm keeping the bass setup as it is

As much I'm embarrassed to say this (as an enthusiastic detailer), I haven't washed the car this winter until today.
After the wash I put a layer of Dodo Juice Red Mist on the right side and CarPro ReLoad on the left side (driver's side) of the car.
Why two different sealants? Hah! Just for fun
!
I haven't started modding the exterior yet, but many details will get some attention and changes.

The weather warmed up for few days, and tonight when I was leaving from dojo, I saw some beading on the bonnet. Took couple of pics with my Samsung Galaxy S2. Not much difference between Red Mist and ReLoad.

Today the weather got a bit clearer, so I managed to take a picture, which shows the Silverstone II color in its best imo .

Allright guys, updates about the roof spoiler fitment, for anyone who's interested
!
So, I noticed the roof spoiler I bought was wayyy too curvy for the rear window (test fitted it). The center of the spoiler was almost an inch too high and wasn't touching the window at all. I decided to try modifying it a bit with a workbench and a heat gun.
As you can see, the spoiler is very curvy. Much curvier than the rear window is:
Measures before modifying:
My super high-end state-of-the-art modifying bench:
Measures after modifying:
And fitment:
