Jchm's BMW e39 ClubSport

[jchm]

I’ve been thinking about making a thread about my BMW for a while now, and finally I got the time to write and collect photos. I’ve had the car for almost 2 years now, starting with a cosmosblack ’97 model preface e39, with the plan of keeping it simple with wheels, exhaust and a new stereo.But things do change, so did my plan! I got quite a list of parts and upgrades I’ve done on the car, and its still growing!

What’s done for now:
M5 front bumper
M5 rear bumper
Hamann Carbon Front lip
Facelift headlights
Facelift rear lamps
Supersport Coilovers
19” BBS LeMans reps with gunmetal center
2x exhaust
M5 trunk lip
Repainted in Anthrazit 397
Roof in Black LY9B
Black ceiling with a-b-c pillars
M5 Steering wheel
M5 gear knob
M5 Black leather interior
M Floormats
Dynavin Navi

And the last twist, E39 ClubSport, with GT3 RS-orange Cs-emblems on the fenders, ///M cs on the trunk, matching interior moldings and dark grey floormats with ClubSport script in the same color.

I got some further plans like new wheels for next season, engine swap from 523i to “something bigger” :P and I may ad some details to the clubsport edition.

You’re probably wondering how this thing looks like, well here’s some pictures from the beginning, inbetween and uptodate:

Loving the running lights and the angle eyes. What bulbs have you got?

Car looks great.

[jchm]

Thanks guys! Im running led Angeleyes 7000k, and led foglights 6500k.
I love US-lights, just sad its not legal in Norway :/

[stinkinrich]

did you fabricate your own loom for the running lights?

[jchm]

Yes, but I got my hands on a module to connect to the lightmodule, so I easily can program the lights as I want. just waiting for an opportunity to mount it and try! I can program a sequens for the lights when I lock and unlock. really exited to try it!

Car looks great!

get the back a little lower, the rake effect is nice and all but with the front tucking and the back having wheel gap it looks a bit off. other than that it makes me want to start work on my e39 again, so a big thumbs up for that

[jchm]

Thanks guys! I want it abit lower in the back as well, but with 3 or 4 in the car, the fenders hit the wheels, so I wont go any lower yet, but with a bigger anti roll bar, it might be better! original part is as thick as my little finger! :P I may try to space out the frontwheels 5mm more, just for the look
