Looks lovely, bar the DRL's.
another update, i bought a set of genuine e60 MV2 alloys (they are more concave than e46 wheels) in ET20, refurbished them myself in Lunar Silver and had new tyres put on yesterday.
few pics;
wheels when i purchased them looking worse for wear;
Me with my dust mask lol;
Dont know why i didnt take pics of my process but anyhow, a few once painted in the garage in my makeshift spray booth (completely sealed from drafts - gets you high easier!)
And finally back on the car with new Dunlop SP Sports 240/40/18;
The finish is OEM quality, 8 layers of paint on each wheel, 3 coats of clearcoat, and then a special zymol wheel wax for 6 months protection, thanks.

Looks great now!
i like the m badge personally, (thats why its there) but i was an expensive optional extra when new to m kitted cars. something ridiculous, but there an OEM gen bmw badges not cheap ebay copies. and theyre metal, not plastic! i rekon it just splits the black up abit n gives it a sportier look, quite like the french flags on a clio sport grille.

Nice 535ohwait. M badge needs to go in the bin, it makes me cringe seeing them on non-M cars. Uber try-hard.
Other than that, it's a nice 520i.

Whichever has fuel
It wasn't long ago you said you put the badge there to hide a scratch.
There was a reason.
You're a month older than me.
And you've been in and chatted twice since I banned you?
RS6+ & 40d MSport X5
lol no hard feelings now mate i was just pissed off at the time. + that comment is before we chatted
these are proper 5 series fitment m sport wheels off this shape buddy lol. your possibly on about spyders? but theyre cak! only have to look at them and they crack.
technically your right, as it wasnt born an m-sport. although an m-sport will look identical, they are still m-cars, the styling is purely done by 'M'. M5 is totally different again, the only bit they share is the sideskirts. + you will never see an 'm' badge solely on an M5 as it was never an option, you cant get them. The M5 is a different style and size badge. These badges on here are ordered from BMW for a 5 series M sport.... made specialy for non M5's. do you get me?
