Guys, I am also new here.
Not "in the club" yet, but I am actively looking for a good set of E61-wheels. However, as I like the amethyst comfort seats and grey/black wood combo quite a lot and as I am looking at the used car market, patience is rather necessary for this exercise.
I have two questions that I hope you can answer, one of which fits quite well in the topic here:
1) Someone asked whether the shadow line can be retrofitted to the E61 as easily as to the E60 - does any of you have direct experience with this?
2) I like the 124 wheels quite a lot but am not a huge fan of RFT - can I fit normal tyres to the 124 wheels (I would guess yes, but I found some rather confusing information online)
Thanks!

It looks like the vote is for shadowline! I'm considering a 2010 535xit platinum bronze with natural brown interior (and the sport package with shadowline). Anyone have a picture of that combo?

Funny that Audi charges extra for chrome and black list are std at least in A4 and A6.
How come it's opposite with BMW...
