Those rims look great on your Touring.

Good work on the splitter / carbon front as well. That's one hot E61

I think those dark rims might work well with the whole "black and mean" theme Nice to have the choice!

They really work well with the blacked out theme

Its hard to tell from the pics, but do you need spacers on the back -- looks like the rims are sitting quite deep in the arch?

So which is your favourite?

Yes, i do need some spacers. I havent measured yet but it looks like i need to space them out around 15mm og 1/2". Front are ok. I really like them both so it comes down to what mood im in hehe. But the BBS wheels gives it a more agressive racing look. When i saw them on the car yesterday i just wanted to order a carbon bonnet at once

Damn, that is an evil looking E61!

You and Anzafin should go cruising together with your black-out looking cars.

Well done!

Hi guys. Been doing some more work on the car. Got a carbon rear diffuser and new exhaust. Also lowered it.

Gave it a good clean








And i have ordered spacers for the rear wheels.

Very nice! Love the dark wheels. I can see with all those wheel choices I would be very late to work every day!

Wow!

Your E61 looks extremely good!
Makes me wonder about the CF diffuser too .

I can see something "good" on the stairs too !
