Okay as promised, here's the thread for the DINAN Exhaust install. I am thrilled with how it turned out. The sound is perfect. Sporty, yet not obnoxious. E61 535xi Aftermarket Exhaust
I also invested in the Cobb Tune. This was hands down the best $$ I've spent on the vehicle to date. I"m absolutely blown away by the difference in performance. The car is so much more responsive to the throttle now and absolutely hauls ass!
Here's a couple pix of the car as she stands now. More to come... soon.

Okay Vossen VVS-CV3's shipped from Florida today. I'm in California, so I'm assuming they'll be here next week. 20x10.5 ET42 in the rear, 20x9 ET30 up front. I REALLY hope they fit!
I"m now torn between Hankook Ventus V12's, or Nitto INVO's.
Planning 285/30/20 Rear and 245/35/20 Front. This provides the exact same revolutions per mile, which is 777. Also they have matching diameters at 26.75 inches. Like I said, REALLY hope they fit!

I'm not sure about the Vossens but anxious to see them on the car.
Not sure about the tires, I only know the Hankooks. I wanted to purchase them but let it go after reading several posts here about vibration issues.
BTW, the dinan is another great feature on this already spectacular car. Looking forward to the pics!

The color is very unique. You kinda have to see it in person. I got the color from the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 740. It's called Battleship Grey.
Ordered the Nitto INVO's today.
Also have a suspension specialist coming on Monday to build a set of adjustable coilovers. At this point i don't think the 285's are going to fit so we'll probably have to do some modifications...
