Hi guys, I have been a member of the forum for a few months now. I have owned an e34 and an e36, and picked up a super clean 2003 BMW 540i M-Sport a few days ago. Parts are steadily coming in now, so I figured I would start my build thread. Let me know what you guys think.
Here she is the day after I got her. I took the chrome kidneys off right away and replaced them with some black ones from bavauto.
A few days later the carbon fiber M5 trunk lip spoiler and carbon roof spoiler came in
Then I turned my attention to the engine bay, the valve covers looked terrible. The paint was chipping bad. So I took them off and re painted them. They did not turn out as good as I hoped, but they look better LOL
A few days later I decided I wasnted to hear that V8 a little more so I ordered a Magnaflow 14834. Got it installed and it sounds awesome, I left the Y resonator in I didnt want it to be too loud.
Driving home from work one day I look at my interior and decide I should do something to it. The wood trim looks ok but I wanted to change it up a little. Also some of the lcd strips on the head unit went out so I decided to replace it. I ordered some 3M Dinoc carbon wrap to wrap my wood trim in (completely reversible), and also ordered a Pioneer SPH-DA01 AppRadio.
I also ordered some BC Racing coilovers from Tristan at Circuit Motorsports. And also ordered a carbon fiber M5 front lip spoiler. Both items should be delivered tomorrow. I just want to give a shout out to Tristan,he was awesome. Answered all my questions and helped out the best he could. These guys have excellent customer service.
