BMW E39 slow build.. Lotsss of picsss
Since I post here more then regular lately why not make a little build thread...
I'm pretty new to the whole car-scene since I bought her!
First of all : I'm not a skilled photographer.. so these pic's are of poor quality..
Bought her in '97
And so this story started...

Winter 2007/08:
Immediately when I bought the car I ordered some FL headlights and bought a set of 19" Bellini Strada's 8,5j + 9,5j ET20
These are poor reps which back then cost me all my money.. but hell I was a noob!
If I knew then what I know now...

This made me hooked on her and I got a virus.. a modding virus...
So did some goodies... some bad, some nice...

Summer 2008:
Started visiting some meetings/GTG
Winter 2008/09:
I got tired of the dents, scratches and some small rust...
So a complete re-paint in original cosmos-schwarz was scheduled for spring 2009..
But not without a full Ac schnitzer body kit, ///M-mirrors, some Eibach sportline lowering springs, Hartge exhaust and OEM Hella rears...

Then found some new wheels: BBS RX-II 19" 8,5j ET20 + 10j ET18
All for a whopping 300 euro's (aprox. 425 dollar?)
Meanwhile painting was done and rebuild her....
First pics after re-paint:
This I rocked and rolled for a year (summer) and finally had some legit pic's taken:
Winter 2009/10:
I updated my audio.. All Rainbow components..
*Rainbow IQ-line composet
*Rainbow iPaul 4.300 4-kan.versterker
*Rainbow iPaul DM2000 monoblock
*Rainbow 12"Vanadium subwoofer
*Alfatec 1 Farad condensator
*Connection hi/lo converters (2x)
And also got the automatic transmission al revised @ ZF in Dortmund, Germany
No pics, but it was an experience to see skilled people take apart and rebuild my auto trans. like it was Lego...
Also replaced all my joints/arms etc.
And another summer went by... with a new set of pics..
Winter 2010/11:
Time for some changes....
Redid my headliner... black accesories coming soon..
But still I'm missing something... But I can't get my finger on it...
As we say in dutch : het puntje op de "i"..
Took the BBS and brought them in for a refurb, polished lips and get the centers painted...
Ordered some coilovers last week , hope they arrive soon....
And that means a new chapter opens for me..... Stancing for noobs....
So all advice is accepted gladly....
All pics and more can be found on my weblog:
It's all in dutch but hell pics say more then words...
All C&C welcome...
