    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.

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

      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.

        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

        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.

        Looks like a pissed off devil

          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.

                            None of the peake products claim to work past 2007.

                                    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.

                                        If/when you wrap the wood interior, let me know.  I would love to get in on that for my E90 as well!

                                        Also, keep the wheels silver for sure!

                                          I have a ~5' X 12' roll of 4d carbon fiber wrap. The 3m/di noc stuff is textured, which I never liked the look of. This is a gloss wrap that actually looks like carbon. 

                                          So far the problem I have found vents are almost part of the wood (unlike the E39) so it will be hard to take those off and get them back on without breaking any of the plastic. It will be hard to take the vents off and hard to do properly without taking them off so it has gone to the back burner.

                                          Looks like this:
