My BMW E60

[mouthymatt]

Hi Guys,
I recently changed my Mazda RX8 for something a little more refined.....and got myself a BMW 5 series E60.

had it a couple of months now and so far have fitted a set of M6 Wheels and a cherished plate, although i have big plans,

hoping to fit either an M sport kit or an AC Schnitzer kit in the near future and window tints all around for starters

here are a couple of HDR shots from a weekend away in Canterbury.

Looks nice, just one thing to note my dad had the ac schnitzer body kit on his X5 and it made his insurance ridiculous

[Maty]

Nice! Wheels really suit it.

i really like that. Most of the latest BMWs are so anonymous looking, especially the most recent 5!

Looks great, but wheels look horrible.. a set of 19" 172 Spiders would have looked alot better in my opinion

[spaceship]

Very nice. Think the M6 wheels just bring it up to date that little bit.

OP. if the wheels you took off were 17's and you want to part with them, PM me. I'm after a set of e60 17's for my winters

I do love the E60. I really miss my 530D, but it had so many electrical gremlins I had to let it go. Its one of the few cars i managed to make a profit on.

Is it petrol or diesel?

I do agree that the 172 spiders look better than the 6 series though. I was going to buy a set for mine but the cost was so high!

its the petrol.

I do really like the spiders, although as you say they are so expensive, and also they are fairly common, I wanted something that was a little different.

I am planning to paint them at a later date, probably gloss black, and am contemplating having the car wrapped in matt black

I really like that, very nice indeed

[JG93]

I think the wheels suit it, could do with a slight drop in ride height

Not a huge fan of the alloys or rear valance, but you can't knock an E60

That looks really nice. Is it a normal 525i SE?

Those wheels certainly make it look more agressive. I do prefer the sport versions but this shows what a difference a set of decent wheels can do.

Shame that all the cheap SE's in my price range, have shocking specs and all over the 130k on the mileage.
