Three weeks ago, I traded in my 2002 520i Touring for my dream car: a Titansilber E61 with a wealth of equipment. I have not yet learned how to use it all!
Here are a few pics of the Touring (if I get this to work!). The light was terrible when I took these... I will take some new pics when I have completed some mods and the weather is better!
BTW, since these were taken, I have added M5 kidney grills, a BMW fire extinguisher, 530d badge and some new brake fluid.

Are you running your M135 rims with winter tyres or is that still the summer set-up in the pics?`

Very nice! Congratulations on the new car 
Good color selection
Looks like you guys have had plenty of snow already ...

The day that I got the car, the weather was awful. A massive amount of snow every where. Now, it is raining, windy and all of the nice snow is long gone. This makes it impossible to keep the car clean!
Oh well.

The 135 M wheels have Continental winter tires on them now. I have ordered a second set of 135 M wheels for the summer tires, and they should be here in January, but I am having second thoughts. I am starting to think that I want 19" wheels for the summer, but I will address that issue in a new thread!
I like hearing about all of these new E61 M-Sport purchases!! It must be something in the water.

I will most likely be getting rid of my M135 summer rims (because of my 19s), so don't go ordering a new set yet -- plenty of time until summer anyway!! I'd rather do a good deal to a fellow E60.NET member than have to sell them off cheap on Ebay

There really is an increasing trend towards the E61 out here, isn't there?! Looks great in that colour. Congrats and welcome.
Of course, my wife would prefer a M5 E61, but that will have to wait!
