Love the M5 mirrors! IMHO they really transform the look of the car.
I have them on mine too and absolutely love looking into them too, because it somehow gives a more "sporting" feel to driving -- sounds weird, but its nice little extra sensation to enjoy when driving
You also experiencing that or is it just me?!
The other observation I have is that I basically have the same car as yours, but yours has 2 subtle differences that give it a very different look; yours is lowered and has black grills. Just those 2 differences make yours much more agressive/purposeful looking than mine, which has more of the OEM / exec look about it. And yes, its your car that probably tempts me most to do more mods

And obviously, the Style 95 wheels are also 19" - good looking on the E61.
BTW, how much "winter" driving do you have to do in Belgium?

I just bought a new set of rims too,
for the winter

Great choice. You'll notice straight away how much bigger the 128s look than the 95s you're currently running. It should make the swap from your 20s easier to cope with

Keeping in mind our MOscow realities, i'm afraid, that 20" won't survive more, than 1 season... may be next spring i will take 128th too... 135th will be left for distant trips then...
