I am ordering the grills from a dealer, there is a BMW of Newport that offers deals to people on this site?

I want the gloss-black instead of the matte.

The car's coming along nicely -- dropped on 20s will look great!

Yep, that's the one I was referring to. I sent him a mail yesterday to see about getting the grills.

I read that thread on here about the E61 on 20" Hartages, but he doesn't mention how the ride changed with the drop and 20s, anyone want to comment on that? (no, I have not searched...yet)

It's not that bad. I ran 20s with 255/35s on a car with standard shocks and Eibach pro kit springs and it wasn't uncomfortable so I can imagine that if you go for a full kit with shocks/springs it would be even better. If I ever got myself another E60/1 I would def slam it and put on 20s again.

Good job on the car BTW. Looks badass

I like where your going ... But 20" with that kinda offset may be limited..
