yet another 5er

[prod0660]

some more progress

[prod0660]

In for progress. Time for an M swap

head is off a e36 M,so thats kinda M,lol

Love the thread and the car.

I would just go with the rear end a bit higher.

yea give her a little rake,

Cool too see that your still sticking with this thing, these cars are worth it for some reason which I really can't put into words.

yea man, cant really let go of her, i was in early e39er , now it seems they are more popular but...kinda of an ego thing now

well im inching closer to having her ready, here are some shots of the engine, it was painted black, looks good, and the oil filter housing cleaned up a bit,

[244Brick]

yep i can't wait

[prod0660]

well, as we near the beginning of car show season its time to kick things up,

after multiple cracked heads, hopefully ill have a good one by the end of the week, car will have no A.C (never worked, and im not buying a fan/condenser), abs was removed, no washer fluid, and no cruise control. so it should in theory be a full shave and tuck, the m52 is getting fully rebuilt, i have been polishing some engine components to spice things up in the bay.

[prod0660]

its ok i have another one, so in a few weeks it should be in and done

[mike-81-240d]

Sorry to hear that the M52 said no more.

[prod0660]

well after months of abuse, the engine finally gave up on me, she has a cracked head and a cracked oil pan (kind of a bad day) but now shes going to go under the knife and come out a new and improved naomi.
have one side tucked and abs will be relocated to the windshield washer reservoir spot, the OBD plug in is now hidden under the fuse/computer box. hopefully ill have an S52/S50 head in a few weeks and then its paint the wheels/vinyl wrap and back on the road


(washer resrvoir never worked, so i figured i would use the spot to place my ABS module)

Looking at picking up an E39 540 soon. I do have an idea what I'm getting in to. But your car looks awesome with the X5 wheels, makes me think twice about the wheels I'd get for it.

[mike-81-240d]

Time for a LSx, or a S54...

[prod0660]

That sucks bro..
... engine swap maybe ?

And yeah that tumber is a bitch, had to change mine in a parking lot...

I've always kinda secretly wanted x5 wheels on my e39..
Im partial to these, 214's


I thought they'd not fit because the offesets are like 30 and 40, but i guess not since you got those 63's to fit and the offsets are even higher on those... and the hubs also fit, hell yeah.

they only came in 20's though which is way to close to donk status... but i love the way they look, maybe on an e38...

Yea I looked into those but 20s are just to big for e39s
The new 7s have some nice wheels too and yea I have a massive spacer upfront so it can be done

[prod0660]

O wow.. That blows man. Well, that's the car enthusiast's territory. Too bad your not in the GA, I would love to help out.

Appreciate it man
