I am selling my E60! 
I pulled the M5 wheels off today that I had recently installed on my car. I picked up the M5 wheels from another member here on this forum awhile back and just recently got them powdercoated a slightly different shade than stock. I found the factory paint was just a bit too bright for my Alpine white E60. I got the work done an incredible place in South City and got the General Exclaims mounted at H&J tire in Novato.
If you haven't had a set of powdercoated rims before the are some pretty neat advantages. #1 They are really easy to clean up; similar to a waxed stock wheels. #2 More resistant to rock chips. I think there are more that I can't think of right now.
Here is what I paid this setup:
$1000 for wheels
$650 for the powdercoating
~$850 for the tires
Total = $2500
I am asking for half of what I paid $$$$1250.
Local pick-up only. Cash only. (Marin County) oh, and centercaps are NOT included
Three of the Four wheels are absolutely flawless (thanks to being powdercoated) and the driver's side rear wheel has one small chip. I got that chip about month ago on 80 by fairfield. There was also slight rash to side wall of tire; I took the car to H&J tire and they said the damage was cosmetic only. This is why I am only asking $1250 instead of more. I figure if you are as anal as me, to get the small chip repaired and tire completely replaced you would still be under $1500 total investment.
Thanks for looking!!!

If it doesn't sell within a few weeks I'll be willing to ship. But I am no huge rush right now. No sure how much it would cost to ship to socal but probably a couple hundred...

Hi there! Nope, I had no issues with my 2004 530i non sport. This is a staggered setup and I think that is the size I have for the front. I got the tire specs from someone on this forum and it worked great for 3k miles.
