Can't let this great thread fall off the first page. I won't be able to contribute any real photos until delivery at the performance center (South Carolina, USA) in January, but I was definitely inspired by this thread while determining options and colors . . . Carbon black/ natural brown/ dark poplar with M-Sport package . . . probably one of the last E61s built.

Seems a bit quiet around here at the moment, so lets see if we can wake this Post up again
Here's a couple of pics I took this afternoon at the beach. Unforetunately I am still getting used to the fact that it gets dark here a lot earlier here and we basically missed the sun
... and boy was it cold on the beach

That's an awesome car, Pete! 
Thanks mate
Ever since putting the M5 mirrors and 128s on the car, I really like the look of the E61. Makes me feel guilty that I'm look to replace it, but I am just fed up with the pre-LCI Auto combined with this engine when driving around the city / country roads, and having now test driven a V8 E60 (545i) I know what I am missing out on -- hopefully going to close a deal tomorrow on a fully loaded 550i E60 M-Sport, providing the dealer doesn't offer me stupid money for mine

Looks great and I am a fan of the color!

Need to do the paper work today and Mrs xBMWx just went to SKAT to register our E61 for export. Hopefully have the V8 next Tuesday
I'll post up a separate post in the E60 section as soon as I have done the paper work and its totally official...
ps. I'm still planning on hanging out here in the E61 forum though

Hehe, not now. I changed to 18 M6's with 245/40 R18 for some days ago..
I'm still not certain which style to buy in 18 inch.

Ah yes the wheel dilemma problem! I?m trying to figure out what I will do as well for a summer setup! The only difference is I?m looking for 19?s!
Good luck my friend!
