Its impossible for me to keep my car looking even half way clean in this weather and with the freezing temperatures at the moment, I cannot wash it as often as I would like. I figure a number of you out there are in a similar situation and like myself can't wait until you have your summer rims on again and your ride shining in the sun... so to help ease the winter gloom, why not post up some pics of your ride looking its best

I'll kick off...

Aesthetics!

Not as the M5, but maybe it could gain +1 mph of max speed

Seriously, the stock mirrors are noisy at 90-100+ mph compared to M5 ones .
I think Andy can confirm .

I can confim that too silence
