Default Pretty nice E60 545i - What do you guys think?

I am usually no E60 5series fan, but this thing looks pretty nice. The color, lowering, and wheels flow well (IMO). The one thing good thing about the Bangle Beamers is their ability to support pretty aggressive offsets and sizes. I know us GS guys would have to KILL to get a lip like that on a HRE or iFORGED 3pc. wheel

What do you guys think?

Don't like it.

I think stock looks better, although that's not saying much.

A Camry with the 18" BBS and bodywork package looks more menacing...

Caaaaaaaaamry...

My favorite sedan ever!! 5 series with 6 speeds >*

That lip is pretty deep. Also what profile are the tires?? They look THIN.

I would kill for any lip

Default E60

I saw this pic on another site. Nice car. There is a guy at Good Roads who has one. He has the new Avus wheels with 3-5 in lip. That thing is sweet. The bimmers are able handle max lip with ease.

Could not agree more. I don't know what it is about this car (maybe it is just the dark color) but it really does look good.

I have grown to like the Bangle 7-Series especially with nice 22s on it, BUT to me the Bangle 5-Series is so FUGLY inside and out that not even those beautiful wheels can help it.

Yes, to a certain extent, but still not overly attractive overall, plus I' ve never seen any black faced wheels on any car that I like yet.
