I?m almost on my way to buy the M5 wheels and i was thinking, would they be good powdercoated or really in black?

I was more keen on black!

About the Grale, well i have it on mint condition. but have for it sale now!

I hardly never use it!

And it really is a wonderful car!

And still scares a lot of some "super machines" of our days!

Well the work is completed!

My E61 now stands proud without the roof rails!!

Is is not difficult to do but it takes some time!

And i have painted the exhaust tailpipes in black!

I?m happy!!!

The car looks more...stealth! And lower!

how do you take the rails away? Do you need to remove the interior in some way?

And, yes the touring is much better dark, my last black one was much nicer then the with one. It needs to be washed to look good.

Do you have the same size front/rear on the M5 rims?

Yes, you need to remove the interior to remove the rails. It's a 2 hrs job at a BMW Dealer. Also, you need to buy a new plastic liner for covering the holes on the roof, and that needs also to be painted...
