If you ever decide to sell your rims, let me know. I need some for next winter...want to get a head start. That is, assuming I still have this car. Maybe I should wait, after all. 
Congrats on the ride and welcome!

I had a 1998 e39 528 for about 8 years. I sold it this summer when it was becoming a money pit. (The car drove great but I was replacing parts left and right due to age). I briefly lost my way and purchased a new 2008 Acura RL. It was a wonderful car - incredible bang for the buck and wonderful technology. However, after riding in a BMW 5 series for 8 years, I was ruined.....The "honda" just didn't do it for me. So, I sold the car (taking a huge depreciation hit) and just purchased a 2007 550i Sport CPO'd with about 20k miles. I loved my 528 but this 550 is a blast!
