Those look to be the Style 128 wheels, they are 21". I originally ordered them for my car in the standard finish, BMW sent a letter to all dealers that they are not to install that wheel on the E63/E64. The geometry is all wrong.

That suck alot. My frineds mom orderd one and it showed up 3 days before Katrina hit and still at the dealership and ended up having 3 feet of water in it. That car looks like hers too, black on black on black, sexy as hell I think. Its sad the only BMW 650's I've seen in that color has been messed up,lol.

The guy with the 650i (that's not his place at the lake there, but he only lives 2 houses up) has all kinds of cars and is always bragging about how much he makes etc. What he really makes I don't know or care but if it were all true I'm not sure why he'd be living in my neighborhood.
But there's definitely some nice pretty properties here and my wife and I are definitely "poor" compared to many in here!

) and must have had quite a shock too.

Many bags, of course, are set to fire in stages depending on the car's speed and the amount of weight detected in the seat. ( somebody my size, of course, would probably need them fired full-force )
Most of you guys know I'm no fan of Chris Bangle machines, but I do feel sorry for this couple anyway......a $90,000 car wrecked in less than 24 hours is depressing, to say the least.

The other day one of these flew by me at incredible speed on a turn and I was wondering what it might look like if he suddenly had to stop and could not quite do it in time. Quite sad.
