Looking pretty sweet, waxed mine last weekend and buffed the swirls out too. What car care products did you use?

[sneary]

Honestly I dont know haha. My friend and I did it and we used his products that he gets from his vendor.

Are those 87's 20 inch? I know I've seen them in 18 inch, just trying to get an idea of how mine will look. (knocking on 180k) I wonder how far this thing will go?

I agree it looks very good...the E53 is one of those designs that the designer intelligentsia will have on their 'lists' of really remarkable car models, off in the future.

For a car 'designed' in the late '90s, and first appearing in late 2000, it has stood the test of time very well, imo. E53s still look very good today, a decade+ later, imo.

Hmm. Who's got a titanium X5 on 87's so I can see into the future?!

Bimmers are timeless. I still prefer my 99 323i w/ 215k over 90% of everything else I see on the road (excluding newer bimmers :P) .. glad to see someone with 160k on the e53 and still loving it, mine's got 102k and I plan on taking it to atleast 200k.. loving the style 87's .. how's the ride with the 20"?

For me the E30 325i will always have a special place in my heart. I never had one-couldn't afford it on apprentice wages!

I've just used (yesterday and today) Meguiars Quick Clay, then finished off with their 'Yellow' Carnauba Wax. The clay bar results blew me away, and the wax just compounded the effect. Not bad for 11 years old with 106k miles on the old boy!

Here's the results..
