OK, you've all previously given me your opinions on my car in this thread HERE. I've now completed all of my intended mods. My intention was to have an extremely unique E60 unlike any other on the road. I think I've achieved my goal. The fact that there is no other E60 on the road like it brings me great joy. Listed below are all the mods:
20x9 fronts & 20x10 rears radial style 32's powdercoated sapphire black metallic. The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 255/30/20 in the front and 295/25/20 in the rears. The exhaust tip is ACS and is also powdercoated the same. I've added the black grills, 5% tint on the rear window and 20% on the sides. Solaris side marker bulbs. (I didn't do the front or rear in Solaris because they're not that bright) Rear euro reflectors, PIAA Super Plasma GT-X 5000K bulbs in the fogs AND in the flash to pass bulbs. They match the xenons perfectly. I've color keyed all of the roundels. I also did the ACS pedals, roof spoiler and trunk spoiler. I have the bluetooth phone cradle for my V600 and a Proclip USA mount for my Treo 650. I think I've covered it all. Oh, I almost forgot. I put a K&N air filter in as well.
Enjoy!

Car doesnt stick well on pictures because of the black rimms. I am sure in real they look much better.

You're correct pmmeke. These cars have a commanding presence when they're in stock form. When you see this car in person, it really has a presence that requires a second and third look. Pictures don't really do it justice. Some people who have seen pics of the car and not liked it have changed their minds once seeing it in person.

No rubbing tomwid. Fenders have been rolled but really didn't need to. They only rubbed very slightly if I went over a big dip in the road or a little more with a full back seat. Roll the fenders and problem solved.
! like the roundels. want to see bigger pics 
. i personally think the lips look better in silver. but it's your babe after all
