    My mom had an e60 530i, I was dumbfounded how a car could be so smooth comfortable and isolated but still have sharp handling and response

      Good price and a great motor for daily duty.

        Should be picking up some decent looking 19s for it tomorrow. That will motivate me to drop it. Just need to decide if I want to stick with silver (current color) or get them painted black. Leaning towards black.

          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.

                                  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.

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