Those are nice. Great choice. IMO, I would have gone with a set of 21s and drop it more. Any plans to get a lip kit for it?

I have the sport pkg so that was a stiff enough ride for me, so a drop was something i kinda wanted to avoid. I am seriously contemplating the AC Schnitzer lip kit.

Funny thing is, if it were white......with the same wheels in white.

Would look like a big nasty beached whale, black is the E65 7series best friend.

However, IMO, that car in white, with the same wheels in black, with a black interior, would look super

Edit: Also, I don't see how a luxury sedan with 22" wheels can be at all sporty For only 4k more, why not make your rear passengers more comfy?
