Please Guide - Bodykits and Rims for E60

[Audrey93]

I am pretty much lost in this forum..If I'm on the wrong window.. please guide too. Thanks.I've been doing my homework on which bodykit to throw into my boy.It's only between M sports or Hamann (not the wide body). Thing is.. I can't decide should I get PU (which gonna cost a bomb) or just settle with Fiber. Pros and Cons? As I know.. PU doesn't break easily but when it does.. it's as good as gone. Fiber breaks easily but to fix it, its\'s cheap.. my only concern is pot holes during rain.. can't them hiding..Then, rims.. I have no idea where to start with the names cause I only know SSR rims. and I don't feel like just walking into any tyre shops cause they're gonna very well slaughter me and they won't teach me the name of rims, they'll only go, 'oh.. that 1 ah.. original M5.. very nice 1.. I give you cheap 1 la..' I like off set rims.. and I saw one on an M5.. it looked superb but.. I don't know how to go about searching for it. Can someone please guide me thru the names.. and I'm opting for 18's only..Thanks. Sorry.. really zero knowledge on cars..and I haven't even tint my car yet....... still deciding on what shades..

1st is M5 rims, 2nd M6 and the 3rd one hartge, I think all look awesome but the M6 is easier to maintain. I'm on M5 rims now. Someone said b4 that rims are like women, no 18 and below! which I agree on an e60, 18 will look a bit small.

happy modding. btw all 3 are with Mtech body kit

 

[Audrey93]

Yea.. I agree it'll look a wee bit small.. ive considered 19' but tyres are the killer later.. and im also considering the fuel consumption and also the pot holes in kl..

still doubting.. haha. thankss! will check out the rims now

 

[Audrey93]

oooo.. i like the first 2. but i saw this.. looking like a claw.. really deep from the centre.. and the spokes will claw outwards..

yeap yeap, im lookin at simple rims like theseeeeeeee!
how much are they?

 

[thsaw99]

yup prepare to pay around 3-4k for all round 19"...

 

[thsaw99]

think you can get M5 and M6 for not more than 8k now, yeah the way the spokes curve out is really nice..

 

[Audrey93]

that's why...
eh.. wait.. 19" tyre all round 3-4k?
for 18" tyres itself.. i checked with my workshop.. is already around 3.5k..

 

[Audrey93]

Thank youuuu!
and the bodykit looked pretty pleasant

you've been a great help!

 

[thsaw99]

ooops sorry yeah miscalculation, for conti and michelin the rear tires will cost you about 3 and the front another 2 at least..cos they're staggered...if you go for toyo or hankook will be slightly cheaper

 

[Audrey93]

I did asked for hankook but was told that conti is much better for a big car..

Hey, I am thinking of upgrading my sport rim from 18" to 19"... mine is original 18" M-Sport rim just like the link below (not M5 19" but 18" M-Sport):

FYI, I have not got my car from Beemer yet, as I am waiting for my number plate bidding result. I will change right away once I get my car... therefore, the rim and the tyre (run-flat) which are still very new have to make way. If you are interested, I can sell it to you... as the 18" original M-Sport rim cost more than RM5k while 4 run-flat tyres can easily cost RM6k...

P.S: Inform me if you wanna buy...

hahaha. Been thinkin the moment I got the car. Cause I was thinkin to get the original M sport itself but since it'll cost more.. I thought.. neh.. stuff it.. I'll have fun modding it instead.. though interior and engine is different be different..

too young to be playing advance games.. already am a lil too advance..

cant help it la.. cant wait to see the outcome of the car.. but i guess.. wont be anytime soon.. purse doesnt allow such huge changes yet.. thats why im playin bit by bit.. here and there.. save some here and save some there.. hahahahaha

It's similar to the photo that thsaw99 posted in your thread... the M5 rims! the only difference is that it's 18" instead of 19"

ahhh.. wokay! 5k? the tyres? let me do a lil more scouting.. im still searching for the one i saw on the road.. tak puas betul.. ahahaha.

please, whoever wants it, carry on 1st okay? i might be changing it only by dec or jan.. together with some other parts when i send it into the workshop..

my cash is stuck at the moment... to be honest.. investment no return yet.. hahahaha

 

[Audrey93]

the new original M-Sport is about RM5k... no kidding!
But since you are thinking to mod... why don't you consider Breyton rims?
Try to google this "Breyton Race GTS"... the sport rims are available in the size of 18 to 20"... not bad.
I am thinking of getting the Breyton Race CS instead... I have come to know a tyre shop that sell at quite a reasonable price... will let u know once everything's confirmed ok?

So envy u guys lar.... driving big cars and got so much money to mod somemore
