I just saw a white E-39 at the SD Autoshow that had gold rims...and I thought (as did the people with me) they looked horrible on the car. However...I think they *could* look good on a LMB or maybe Chiaretto REd.

Might work on JB. I'd hate to spend big $ to find out otherwise though. I just know they looked awful on the white car. A white M5 is pure, understated class. To put those gold rims on it would be like James Bond getting a lip ring.
Gold, star-shaped Speedline wheels were the hallmark of earlier era Ferraris. Basket-weave lace wheels, often in gold, were common on first generation 3 series BMWs. I rather liked the look, especially on Ferraris, but only on certain color cars. They went well with red and black cars. I think they'd color clash on a silver car.

Yep. The wheels I saw were seriously bling, unlike the OP's. So, in answer to the original question: I like the wheels, and they'd probably look great on a JB. Personally, I'd rather see someone else spend the $ to verify that though.
I raced a 911 turbo the other night from a twenty mile an hour role. I pulled him in first and then through second. By that time he was about on my fuel tank. We then hit third and at about 80 he began to close the gap. When I hit fourth, he started to take the lead to about 3 car lengths by...
Hi everyone -
I’d like to re-introduce myself to the forum, and start this thread as a journal of my journey with an E39 M5 that I have recently acquired. A quick (or maybe not so quick) introduction and a history on how I ended up where I’m in my automotive journey…
I’m a long time BMW-guy...
Since there have been a couple requests for more video and I like seeing other tracks/people in similar cars, I figured we could get a track video thread going.
Maybe there already is one here but I didn't find on w/a quick search, so put up your time having some fun out there.

Hi guys,
So last summer I got my vanos tested with DIS. On bank ONE, the test failed, and got these results:
So while the car is in storage for the winter, I decided to tackle cleaning the boards and replace the solenoid seals.
It all went smoothly. I've cleaned the solenoids with compressed...
Hi
I am checking out a car production in 12/1999 and asked about the if the VANOS had been updated. He tell me that it is the updated version with "scrub screws", but what does that mean? Car has ~50000miles on it.
