Hi Guys,
Here are some pics i just made of my car. I want to order some 19 inch rims this month but am not sure yet which ones cause not all seem to fit the E61.
I am thinking of the styling 125 or the M6 wheels but these might not fit my car. Some help at this issue might be welkom.
Regards,

Hi,
It is Nappa Naturbraun Leather. Its an aftermarket color, which in Europe can be ordered as an individual option. So its not in the normal option list. I liked it in combination with the Carbonblack outside color.

If you are able to homologate it in Netherlands, go for the M6 19-inch wheels.
With your M-Sport kit they should look great.

Yesterday I was in a McDonalds and another father parked its M6 next to my Touring and I couldn't stop dreaming about those wheels in my car.

If you actually go for it, publish some photos.
I'm thinking about ordering from the USA the "fake" 18-inch wheels with the M6 design... No problems with homologation, shorter feeling in the wallet

Your right about the wallet. The original M6 wheels are really expensive. Here we also have "fake" 19 inch M6 wheels but that would probably give me the same problems as the other 19 inch wheels.
But i will ask prices of both and if the difference is not too big i might go for the originals cause your right, the M6 wheel matches my car best.
