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.
My radio has recently been unable to be turned on although the navigation system and onboard computer still work. None of the buttons on the left side of the navi screen works. The radio worked last week and i just noticed it no longer working this week.
Has anyone experienced this problem or...
Hello M5Board! I just made the best (worst!?!?!) decision ever. I went to look at a 2001 M5 that was advertised on CL on the 1st of the year.
I drove it and it ran really well however needed so much work that I thanked the owner and said that I would pass on it.
He said if he could take the...

Hello M5board!
I must say that the M5board has been an irreplaceable source of information and wanted to thank everybody for making the owning experience of this car that much better.
Inspired by members Kiznarsh's thread, I wanted to share my buying story and adventures with the car.

I bought my M5 in 2005 with about 38k on the odometer. I was about 1/2 mile from my house on my way to an autocross this weekend when the clutch went to the floor and stayed there. Found hoses to the slave cylinder were leaking so I had them replaced along with the slave cylinder although it...
