My new baby 04

Hello everyone! Finally purchased my dream car!
Its a 2004 E55 1 owner vehicle with full service records! ALL electronics works perfect. I've already put my 2 JLw6v2s and a jl 1000/1 to enhance that low end. As well just had it tinted 5% rears and 20% fronts. Its star dropped on I believe 2009 e63 wheels.
I can't say thankyou enough to the people who posted so much useful info for a part time gear head like myself to make an informed decision!

heres a couple cell phone snags from today....

You're very welcome! You have executed it well so far. Are you thinking of changing up the color of the wheels?

I'm thinking of going a dark matte bronze or matte black on the darker sections of the wheels, and polishing the lighter sections. I like the idea of a bigger wheel, but drivability/comfort with super skinny tires something I don't want to sacrifice.

Makes sense about comfort. I like the dark matte bronze idea. Which ever one you do, be sure to show us once you do.
