white E39

I also am a fan of E39. We all know I'm a staunch coupe guy but E39 is one of the very few sedans I'd use as a daily driver. I don't care that the style has changed, E39 looks way better than E60. Both sets of wheels look nice but to me, the silver wheels look much better. I believe wheels are meant to be shiny. WHy spend all this money just to have them disappear....but this is just my opinion.

LOL good one Reggie! They cost more for that "now you see 'em, now you dont" finish!!!

Seriously though I used to feel the same way about dark hued wheels, but after seeing few nicely modded cars with them I really started to like them. Synergy's gunmetal Dronells, a few BMW's, a white audi with gunmetal wheels, even a red 330 droptop with gunmetal. I can say one thing, at this point I think I like gunmetal better than flat black.

But honestly, except for the 8 Series, the E39 5 series is my favorite BMW. IMO it is the best looking sports sedan ever seen in the US.

That's the best looking sports sedan ever in the US(that is after the GS)
