Hey everybody, I have been surfing this forum for a couple of weeks now and got all the info I needed to make my purchase. Just got a CPO 2007 530i. It is absolutely beautiful, plus Navi. You guys have really been a great help, I found answers to all my questions without posting once. Now I am a proud E60 owner. I love it, it is so clean and still smells new. I attached a pic, just basic for now, My future mods would be rims but that might be it. Thanks for all the helpful information.

well, I was looking for an e60 that already had the 124s, wife didn't like the exterior color of that one. So I hope to maybe get some used 124s or even check out the 166s (very nice).

Kuchar, those are tight! I have seen a lot of pics with those rims. Are those OEMs? I have heard a lot of people say not to buy if they aren't oem. would you buy those?

Yeah I like them alot, I also like the chrome version that same eBay seller has. If I decide to stick w/18's" those are the rims I'm going to buy. An area BMW mechanic actually recommended this eBay seller after I had discovered them on my own, so yeah I feel good about 'em!

Right now I'm heavily under the west coast spell of staggered 20's" but the practical side of me wants to stick w/ 18's" so I can at least rotate my tires front to back and get additional tread life out of 'em. Ah, such tough decisions.
