The color looks good. I initially had my opinions about a red e60. I think it's due the fact that the red e60's I have seen have so many mods on it, red is such a "hey look at me" color and to clutter the exterior with lips, spoilers, fenders, etc with that color just ruins the car IMO. You got it right, m sport and some nice wheels...good to go...happy motoring...

When you picked up your car did you mention to the dealer the steering wheel is on the wrong side... . (Sorry, couldn't help myself )

Thanks for the welcome Guys and Girls.

I get used to the wheel on the wrong side after a few miles , it was worth it to get it at such a cheap price ? approx $54,000
