Well I'm bored so I though I'd make a build thread for my e39, c&c welcome...
It's a 1997 528ia, it's Montreal Blue and has almost 268k miles on it. Original motor and auto trans, although I hope to swap to a manual sometime soon!
I got the car 3 years ago when I was 17 from my dad when he bought a 2001 330xi. He's since totaled that and has a 2003 525i and a 1993 525i 5 speed now. It had 243k when I was given it, here's the oldest pic I could find on my photobucket:
with the 330:
Then I blacked out the grills with plasti-dip and got some 17x8.5 et15 Mille Miglias.
Then it was M5 front bumper and black window and door trim time:
Then came these, along with 10mm ECS tuning spacers and DJ auto headlights with CCFL angel eyes:
with my dads 525i
rollin
then I was rear ended which meant m5 rear bumper and magnaflow 14834 muffler:
As for the future plans, I recently got these for my summer wheels:
Miro stp 3 19x8.5 et15 and 19x9.5 et20. I know they're reps and I didn't really want to get them but they were only 550 brand new and I love the way they look. I tried looking around various sites for awhile but couldn't find a good deal on some real wheels larger than 17 inches. I will be keeping my current Mille Miglia wheels for winter use.
Other mods I have done include: BSW front speakers, Pioneer rear speakers, Sound Ordnance self powered sub and a couple other little things. I do plan to remove the rear spoiler sometime, hopefully sooner than later.
I will be getting some new spacers with my new setup as well, I'll be going for somewhat of a stance with them. I will probably run 225/35 and either 245/35 or 255/30. I'll also be going a bit lower as well.
Over my Christmas I am going to wrap my headliner in black suede too since I have to take it out to fix my sunroof anyway. I also have some engine plans for this summer, new headgasket, s52 cams, headers, m50 manifold and a tune.

Clear and red or all red would look a lot better imo.
