Nice and sort of evil at the same time.

What Angel Eyes are those? They are much cleaner or whiter than mine!

Ok. They look very good in your pic!

I am waiting for Angel iBright v.3 to get here. I took advantage of a e60.net group buy price... Pricey nonetheless!

Great wheels, though!

Car is looking great. The 20" wheels do look really nice. Fills the arch out well. I hate my 172s for two reasons. A real bugger to clean and it doesn't seem to fill the wheel arch as much as I would like it too. Seems likes its too inside the wheel arch.

Anyway IMO, your car is stunning. Have you ever considered what it would be like without the roof rack on top?

cheers

ps; Here is a picture of my rims. See what I mean. don't these 19" look incredibly small for the car?

Dave, your ride looks great -- I think you've used all the space available under the arches


Pigapumbu, with 10mm spacers, or 15mm like mine, your M172s will fill out the arches just nicely. Andy545 had 10mm spacers on his in combination with the M172s and I thought it looked spot on. As a side note, rims somehow look larger on the Touring -- my 19" 128s look larger on my Touring than they did on my previous E60. Not sure why, they just do

The wheels look great!

When will you install the CF front splitters?

I think in the summer,first I will look for a rear original E61 M5 bumper and
then I will let the front and rear bumper paint first.
Because the front bumper is a litlle bit damaged from litlle piece of stone
on the road.
