Mel's 167 reps look great. 19 inches is a safer wheel size than 20s for the battle scarred streets on NYC on which Mel and I drive. Even in 19 inch size, the Miro rep 167s make a powerful visual statement.
Most definitely. Her AW 550i rocks

Mel's car does look really good. To be honest i dont know why i want to get rid of them. They look great.....i dont know, guess im not satisfied with the whole car in general. Its a nice car and love the look....i didnt think i would say this but i need more performance. It would cost to much to mod the 530 to where i want it. So i guess its either going to be drive the 530 nearly completely stock and just start saving for the next BMW or get the 535/335 asap.

Who knows....maybe the wheels dont even get sold and i keep them into next spring. Do the umnitza kit this winter, and get some lci tails over the winter. Then maybe i will be satisfied?!?
You love them...but you're not IN LOVE with them anymore

Honestly, I say keep them because 20" wheels don't look good on a car with a stock body and no drop. Once you get the mtech kit your car will look "better" than Mel's I think....(slightly)

You have no idea what you just started by saying that...

I would actually disagree with that statement too. Aside from Mel's car being a 550, her car is flawless. Not too much and not too little. It's just right.

I have to agree with C. 530 and 550 are very very very different cars. They are just not in the same class.

No matter how much I mod my car, I don't believe that it will ever look better than a M5.

Dude what? When did I say a 530 was better than a 550??? I didn't! Therefore there is no argument here. I was comparing the "Looks" of Mel's car and Brett's car and they are pretty much the same (again appearance-wise ) . Both E60's....and sorry to say they ARE in the same class, they are BOTH LUXURY SEDANS.

I was talking "look-wise" NOT overall...of course Mel's car would be better comparatively foo.

In my opinion, if AWG were to keep her Miros and decided to do an MTech, "I" think it would like it better IMO.

I suppose it depends on how one defines a class of cars. Yes a 530 and 550 are both mid size luxury sedans. But there is a world of different between them in terms of performance and the way that they drive. If you closed your eyes and drove both, you would have no idea that they both spring from the same underlying E60 platofrm.

Just as there is no comparison between my 550 and a M5. I don't think of my car in the same class as a M5.

Yea i dont think he was talking about overall performance. He is simply saying if i got the mtech kit it would like identical to mel's with 20's instead of the 19's. Nothing about engine or performance. If i were to get the kit the only difference between mine and mel's car would be the LCI Tails (i think she has them), she has a roof spoiler, and black grille's.

So side profile you would look at mine and mel's cars and see a kit, same wheels, except mine are an inch bigger.

Everyone knows the 550 is clearly better than a 530. No one will disagree with that.

You still have the chrome trim strip on the bottom of your windows?

It looks a lot like your car, which also looks like poop.
