Some updated pics of my E60 M5!

So I took off the Black Stockers for a change and put on these 21" Hartge Classic II wheels. I still need some advice on what to do with the wheels because I can't stand silver. I am young so I want to go something a little more aggressive. As far as the car goes though..

H&R Lowering Springs
21" Hartge on Yokahama Tires
10MM Front Spacers (not pictured)
Smoked Tails, Sides, and Headlights (not in pictures)
CF Roof Spoiler
Black Kidneys
a Shat Load of tint
CF Roundels
K&N Typhoon System
Straight Pipes . No rear mufflers. In case people were wondering, I really didn't want to go quad tips like every other M5 that's why it is just 2 raw black tips. In person it looks great IMO, kind of reminds me of the Clown Shoe M-Coupe Dinan Exhausts. And it sounds the ****. I thought it would be raspy, but it sounds incredibly similar to the Kreisseg at 4-8000RPM's. Mated with the K&N's it is amazing.

Anyways, I have decided against the red or orange wheels for now. I am sure most of you are glad to hear that. So I am going to do Black Sapphire Metallic on the Hartge Wheels (body matched) with some sort of colored ring like the Platinum Motorsports M5. I don't want to do red because then this car would look like it's twin, so I am thinking the BMW Blue from the Roundel's or RS Orange. What do you guys think I should do???








and when I wake up in the morning I see




before...

The car looks very sinister, just paint the calipers red.

UNREAL! I like the way it looks now....nothing looks "bad" to me...but i wouldnt be mad at cha if you:

- painted calipers yellow
- got a different exhaust (or just diff tips maybe?)
- LCD's in the headrests
