Cheers guys for the nice comments :alrigh

Six hr round trip picking the breytons up. Tyres on order already and hunt is on for centre caps. New headunit that's pretty trick being fitted the weekend

Excellent attention to detail, love the build. What caps are you after?

[Spirit]

Flat caps 75mm outer with 70mm inner clips. Got few ideas though

Woah how come I missed this thread??

Absolutely buzzing to see this progress, not seen an E39 M5 on here for a while

So the M242 cap? I have a single one, the originals are hard but not impossible to find.
Not cheap either.
You can get just about any size plain caps on eBay or Alibaba.
Btw, the standard Benz cap will fit the Breyton. Hope that helps.

Damn this is gonna be sweet!

Another update...Stereo upgrade

Im not going to get in the whole Oem vs Modern update debates personally i think Bmw are very poor in equipment quality sometimes and i wanted more than the std navigation gave me.

New unit is a Pure android unit presently running kitkat but upgradeable soon and i went for the full monty inc reverse camera,dash cam,dvd,digital tv,sd card,cd,mp3,usb etc etc etc and works very well.Also running deezer through bluetooth on my s6/iphone 5s no issues and satnav is fully upgraded.























Total cost....560 including fitting

Anyway a big update and many im sure were wondering what they look like on the car so here goes.Nothing staged its straight off a jack so hasnt settled i guess and without coilovers on as im still waiting on the Broadways to arrive in the uk and certainly deviding opinions on various Facebook pages and other forums but hey its mine and i will carry on with my plans:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Not a big fan of the wheels, tbh.

But, as you said, it's your car, and if you like them, that's what matters the most.
