    i had such high hopes for you.  a late model e30 swap car, a cts-v, etc., but  a bangle-bungled e60? i know they ride nice, but is that an excuse for ugly? :D

      I may be in the minority but I don't think these look as bad as everyone says they do.  The e60's have aged well in my opinion.  I think the e39 looks better but I wouldn't call the e60 ugly by any means.

        They can be saved but it takes some M5 bumpers for me to really like them=)

          I don't know why, but I have always liked these. And for what I picked it up for I'll be able to throe 40k miles on it and sell it for the same. 

          Considered an E60 M5 and even the 545/550, but that would have put me back in CTS-V land. 

          Investing > nice car priority right now.

            New bumpers are not in its future. I am picking up some 19s for it tomorrow. After wheels/lowering/tint/roof rack I will be content for a while.

              And hold on one second - how do you not mention the truck - it is the epitome of class. Talk about disappointed.

              FWIW, I think it is the taillights that have always drawn me to these. They look so badass at night.

                i said 'etc' because I knew I was missing something (yes the truck is awesome)

                the taillights are pretty cool, I will give it that.

                also, smart of you to buy a BMW that has cup holders.

                  Bought these today. 245/45/19

                  Not my favorite, but 25% of my budget so I can't complain.

                  Leaning towards gloss black.

                            I wont have the wheels until next weekend so I'll have time to think about the color. Still leaning towards black.

                            Does anyone know where I can buy an airbag code reader/clearer? I have an OBDII port that works, but I haven't found one that will definitely work on an 08 E60.

                              Peake sells one and TJ has one. He may help you out.

                                If someone has one I can use just to make sure it works for my car before I buy that would be appreciated.

                                          It'll do for now. Looking forward to pick up the wheels and get some springs. The wheels I found were down in Chicago so instead of driving there my buddy picked them up since he is coming up this way next weekend.
