Like the rims, but not the centres - might look ok with a blue propeller at the centre?

Looks stunning - but I agree. The roundel ought to be in place

Where's this picture taken? Something reminds me of the Dingolfing plant.

O.K. your ride looks HOT! Who cares about the BMW center logos. Lowering it looks great too. Is the ride shot? How much did you lower it and what springs did you use?

P.S. I think all stock E60's have the same ride height sport or not, 525i or 545i someone please convince me if I am wrong.

Sports suspention = 1,5 cm (0,6 inch) lower than normal suspention

btw, I think the wheels are photoshopped on the car, IIRC I have seen this picture before with normal wheels.

Sorry guys, but I just shared this pic from the Roadfly forum...not my car ( I wish though, Alpine White for me). Anyway, found out this morning that it was a photoshop...dissappointed. I was hoping someone was actually driving that beauty.

As for the ride height, the message above is correct. 0.6" lower on sport package. In person, it is noticeable, but both "sit" nicely IMO.

One last thing, I am going to try and get the guy that photoshopped this E60 to do some with a few of the wheels that I am considering. I'll share with everyone if he does.

I like BBS but not this rim. The lip is too tall, making the wheel look like 17's if they are 18's. <_<
