The body is complete stock, as well as the steering wheel. It has a factory installed M-sport package, which is available in Europe.

I agree that the M-bumpers look better than the standard bumpers, but an e61 with nice wheels (>18 inch) and a lowered suspension also looks great!

You must have wonderfully smooth roads in the Netherlands. 20" rims would never do in the NYC area.

Thanks for all the comliments. Glad you like the look!
We do have quite smooth roads, but our country is also small and over populated, and thus lots of trafic jams 
.
On the other hand, I find that the ride comfort isn't that bad, compared to the 18 inch RFT's that came off!

I will probably put my M166 summer rims on shortly, just to see if they fit !!, and will take some pics. It will be interesting to compare mine with 19s against yours with 20s...

Yours are OEM, so from up close they will probably look better
.On the other hand, mine hav no curb rash
You got the 'M6' set up, right? Hmm, I think they're going to stick out too much with your 15mm spacers. anyway, my buddy is selling his Alpina's, so maybe you're interested in my 20's, so I can buy his Alpina's

I have the M5 M166s, i.e. ET28, and not the M6 M166s with ET17. It there should be ok on the rear with the 15mm spacers, but its going to be pretty far out...
