love it! And all the props you are getting in the other post are totally justified -- IMHO one of the nicest modded E61s we have here


I also posted up some pics of my latest mod -- the 550 is now riding on its new 20" Alpinas

Nice sleeper you have with a good color, but are you seriously trying to avoid that bug, which is haunting people in these forums???

Most of us planned to keep it the way it was, but few succeeded

Nice car you have there, but you should seriously consider a new set of wheels !

I think my M6 alloys would look great on this

Pics? Are you trying to get rid of them?
I do need another set of wheels for the winter and I could dedicate the current wheels for that.

OTOH, I have two race cars and want all the comfort I can get on the street So quite happy with 17's.
I might just as well get another set of exactly these wheels

FWIW, I'm trading my Alfa Romeo 159 2.4JTDm automatic for this one, all for the better

Well you lasted 1 day before planning your first mod ...that's 1 day longer than me

You will find that when you transition from 17" with RFT to 19" without RFT, you actually gain comfort due to the tyres -- well that was my experience when going from 18" RFT to 19" non-RFT. The good thing about the M6 wheels is that they have the perfect offsets for the Touring, so no spacers need, just plug and play

Enjoy that beast of yours

Haha, I am just playing with you guys. The fact is, I test drove this car on 17's with non-RFs... it's way comfier than my Alfa on 18s was - and I like that comfort.

It can get even better - if you get the 16s OEM wheels for the E61 (What you have now are wheels from the 7-series E65..)

I am having them (style 134) as my winter wheels with non-RFTs and all I can say is pure comfort and pure understatement

One friend was even too fast to conclude the car was a 520d when he saw it from the distance, just judging by the wheels and lack of M-pack obviously
