172s make any BMW look terrific.

Thanks guys!

You're right about the M172s, the same thing goes through my mind whenever I see a 5er with them on. I'm glad it worked out on the Touring as well

Fantastic looking E61! I really love the Touring, but I just got those M5 wheels on my E60 so I guess I'll keep it for a while... ;-)

Also, you've got a great background for your shots: Sweden! :-)

Thanks mate. I do miss my M166s, but pleased to hear you'll be hanging on to them for a while longer

You guys here are good with your location spotting!! Its a car purchased in Germany, owned by a Brit, parked in Denmark, with Sweden in the back ground... just doing my bit to contribute to the international flavour of the forum


Edit-
Here you go, a pic with a bit more of your mother land in the back ground... can you see your house?

Nope, there's a beautiful car in the way. :-)
If you turn your camera a little left (north) you'll see the swedish watch towers*, also known as the Barseb?ck nuclear power plant. Ask any Dane about that, it's their favourite subject! :-)


* ref to "The Kingdom" by Lars Von Trier, if you haven't yet seen it you must, it's Copenhagen!
