I love all those modified E61's.. truly awesome


I wish I had the chance to get myself a nice pair of M-mirrors..
unfortunately Mrs.Ivano will be against, the car is new and everything more than 500 bucks is not arguable


Well,my car:

after:



not much of a difference , but time will come and the roof will be blacked-out


other than that, what I did until now:

black diffuser
exhaust tips wrapped with cf-wrap
gloss black kidney grills
Style 167 rims
LED illumination for rear licence plate

I love the 167 M6 alloys are sweet, I am stuck between them or the M5 ones myself.

Sorry off topic but I assume people move to NON-run flats when upgrading the alloys to 19 inch items?

My vote will always go to 166 M if we are talking about OE BMW wheels for the E61. That said, both Kuul4 a d Marko h. have made some excellent wheel choices!

And yes, non-RFT for sure. Night and day...

Yes they are. It really brings home how ridiculous it is that US buyers would rather buy the hideous looking GT than the wagon when the wagon is sooooo much hotter looking.
