Well I figured I'd throw up a build thread since I haven't ever really posted much (anything really) on the car.
Well it started one day when I saw the car online, but never thought I'd own it. However I decided to throw my car up for sale and luckily the next day a guy stopped by my house to pick it up and as quick as that I drove over to pick it up.
The e36 I sold:

Then as soon as I got home I snapped a few quick pics of my new e39 in all of its stock glory.

After driving it for maybe a month I was tired of the stock e39 bumpers and decided to get some m-tech bumpers all around

I noticed the drivers side rear tire was de-flating every day so I went to check it out and noticed a second and final crack was in the wheel and I couldn't find a fourth to replace the unrepairable wheel. So a new set of wheels had to come, I have always liked ccw's (if you couldn't tell by my e36) so I ordered another set.

I ordered the rears too large and couldn't get a skinnier tire to mount up so I had to get the rear re-barreled.

I got tired of the foggy oem lights so I ordered some dj autos from umnitza

Ended up getting a new tire for free (thanks discount tire) and this brings me to last night. I put on some BC coilovers and here is a sneak peek...

I can still go about 3" lower and I'm lowering the rear more this weekend, then I'll take some real pics of it.
edit-not as pic heavy as I originally thought it would be...
