I ***** it at first, but I'm liking it now.

This I reay don't get...

What's the fun in this?

[Hayseed]

Usually sleepers are more like putting a ls1 in a ford focus... Not putting focus badges on a corvette.

Are you kidding me....You installed none M bumpers and wheels. WTF. You got to be a Troll

[AMGwheelwhore]

Cool idea, but I really don't see the point....

[axelillo_PR]

Don't like it, you made a good looking car uglier to fool people into racing so you can win more??

[softg]

I don't follow. At all.

[roof_rack]

I LOVE the concept behind this build! Always wanted to do this myself I would like to see you drag the unsuspecting 540

Keep up the good work! sub'd

sadly . . still no "stance" . . but some other changes happend . .

first, the exhaust had to be "slightly" modified to fit the new bumper . .





then some very un-M'ish facelift-parts (mirrors, bumpers, moldings, orange side markers . ) found their way onto my little E39 . . (just in case you're wondering . . the "520i" badge stands for a whooping 170hp . .) . . .








Oh, by the way . . I'm not kidding . . it's not just another car . . it's the same M5 . . including a healthy S62 . .





an then because I'm a sucker for basketweave/crosspokes-rims . . a set of Styling 42 in 18inch replaced the "suspicious" M5 wheels . . I think they go nicely with the facelift look . . Styling 5 looked too old on there . .



well, that's all for now . . but I hope my coilovers will arrive in a few days . .

jealous, gorgeous e39 and a great platform to start from

Nice car! If you happen to need to take the intake plenum off for any maintenance or something, make sure you snap a photo of the air horn configuration that lives inside of it. It's a pretty awesome sight from an engineering point of view.
