I like it better stock. Never thought I would say something like that considering the mod list.

OOoooo... yummy! Looks like the one that I saw on the road over here in Tampa the other day. except it was silver with what appeared to be HRE 540Rs. I need to buy another digital camera and keep it in my car so i can snap a photo of all these cars i see every day...

not too bad, though the exterior of the car has done more than enough damage i think. seems like a lot of owners they like to get black 5 series with black wheels

i like the way he modded the rear exhaust though, very clean

The new 5 series just doesn't do it for me no matter what has been added to it.

The E39's were much better.

Yo D!!!! That Bimmer is hot!!! I saw one like this last night on the Southern State and it was Bad Azz!!! At first I didnt like these 5 series but they kinda grew on me. Not that I would take a Bimmer over my GS but its something that I would have in my garage!!!

Even if this does look better than a stock one (how could it not), it is disgraceful how huge of a step...I mean leap, BMW took from the E39. Maybe if this was the first 5 series ever I could begin to accept it, but the E39 was THE BEST LOOKING SEDAN OUT in the 90's-'03 IMO. So sad, so sad.

D, don't the wheels look a little bit small? I like the black on black theme but it looks like those wheels could be a little bigger so that the Bangle body doesn't swallow them up. Other than that I give it a

The thumbs up probably has something to do with me seeing a black E60 yesterday. It actually looked good, I did a double take.

It looks nice, but I still like the last model of 5-series (E39 or something?)
The current 5-series lost the luxury feeling. Heck, the base model starts at $45,000. It just doesn't look like an expensive car anymore. To me, it feels like an Audi A4 now.
