Btw, what is the name of the paint color on your E61?
It reminds me of my E39 (Slate Green Metallic).

My Ride: BMW 530xd Touring 2007 pre-LCI
Here's my 530xd, not very exciting when stock and on winter rims (remember this is a $100k car when 3 yrs old in Norway, new it's like $190k with extras)
after some small changes:
-132's with 245/40 GY NTC5 runflats .....looking for new rims, but there isn't any funds available yet
-black kidneys
-H&R lowering springs in front and adjustable links on rear axle
-debadged
-tinted windows....

Here is a photo of my car before, with all the mods, now it's completely OEM with 135 rims and standard mirrors;...and I am happy with my choice. 18" tyres are much more comfortable. The only think I did to the car recently is changing the aluminum interior with the dark poplar that IMO looks more classy.

Ciao Marco,
why did you retrofit your mods?
What did you do with your M5-mirrors? I always liked your car with its classy mods
BTW: FORZA AZZURRI!!!

I wanted to change something, at the beginning I wanted to give more Alpina look to the car. I did buy Alpina rims and sold the M5 mirrors. Than I found out that Alpina 19" were too soft for my car and specially the roads bumpy roads in Eastern Europe where I am normally traveling. Thus I went back to OEM 135 rims. I came to the conclusion that the car is anyway very nice and so decided to keep it as OEM.
Of course FORZA AZZURRI.
Marco
