I've seen 22's on an e60 before at the bimmerfest. It looked funny IMO. Too big. 21's would work if you have a kit. But be informed that your speedometer and trip meter will be off. Even on 20's its a little off.

21 inch tires are much more than 20's. I would go 20's if I were you. Here's my car in 20's

The Titanium Gray (mine) has Radenergie's R10. The silver one has the Radenergie's R5. I think these the perfect rims for the 5 series. IMO, get the rim that has a rolled lip like these. And as deep as possible.

Hello, thanks for advice, but i am running on 20" now, and i would maybe get 1" or 2" inch more, imo your car looks great with those 20" I live i denmark and there are no one i denmark that sell 21" or 22" for my car, and if i order its on me if they dont? fit the car... So im would like to order it directly from USA. Do you have any shop near you that sell 21" or 22" packages for E60 and if so, please help me and ask them if they ship to Denmark if i pay ind avance.

I like the style of your rims,and deep as possible, i dont like black center, and chrome is not so popular here anymore. polished is ok.

Please help

What?s the name of the frontspoiler on your car? it looks great!! Is it fitted on the original bumper or the M5 bumper ??
