BMW E39 M5 - Broadway static coilovers and Breytons content

[Spirit]

Well its wednesday!! Lol

Your wheels were fun to prep when we took them back down to metal.They came out lovely though. (I work for Customcars) lol

Leave those arches as they are! Only extend them if you're going to keep the return lip. Ski Slope arches are for p*ssies

Cheers buddy

Good read so far mate

Progress so far...coilovers on and ride height sorted. Fronts golden maybe little more camber and rears still causing issues so my bodyshop are having the pleasure of widening the arches by 2-3mm then flare and repaint to accommodate. I've come too far to give up now I will finish what I started.

your mate should make a build thread for the e38

very excited for the coils to go on by the way

Broadway's look ace! Can't wait to see it all come together

Went to a German meet the other night and grabbed a pic of it and my mates slammed e38 we are currently doing. Mine goes in Wed for all the bits to be fitted lads stay tuned

That is a badass package. Never knew they went into so much detail

Truely a work of art and impressive build quality.


Mate grabbed a nice picture last night and the last one in its current guise the next time pics are up the coilovers, splitter, breytons, spacers will all be on

Well today i was kinda busy hooking up some extra apps on my android headunit and got the onboard diagnostic software working well whilst waiting on some deliveries due today which were a pair of k/n panel filters,15mm spacers for the front fitment coming and the big one..Broadway static coil overs arrived finally
Very very impressive build quality and cant wait to have them fitted on soon.













Waiting on a slot for the garage and my splitter to arrive.still trying to figure the rear fittment out without silly amounts of camber or butchered arches but i know i can sort it good enough

I think once the fitment is dialed in it will look great. I'm not really a big fan of the color matched centers but I think it will work on this. If you change your mind I'll let you ship the wheels to me and I'll take good care of them

Liking the direction of this! Ive been wanting breyton's for my e46 M3 for a while but couldnt find a set close enough and sensible money so went another route.

I'm surprised by your tyre choice tbh. The 225/35s on the fronts are very small for 18s on the E39 as stock I believe is 245/40/18? So you're nearly 40mm out on diameter. Most would run 225/40 and give a nice stretch.

On the rears you're not too far away from the stock 275/35 and are about 20mm down overall diameter. I too have a 245/35 on a 10.5 (albeit on 20s) and I thought my michelin super sports ran wide but those continentals must run even wider! They look a nice stretch but I fear you're going to need to go very low in the front to make them look right, just my thoughts and would love to see you pull it off!

Whereabouts in Norfolk are you? I'm in Norwich.

On rims they are very low offsets buddy like ridiculously low hence the stretch slightly. They were on my mates e60 550i remapped beast and he was very hard on his identical profile tyres without issues. Tbh they are being show rims majority of the time it's on style 65s nor am I tracking it. It's on four brand new continental contact sport 5 tyres so can't see any real issues if I'm honest with sensible driving.
Kings Lynn I'm at as well.

What are the offsets as well btw?

Have to be honest no idea currently. Seem as wide as my mates 10/11j setup so it's very very low









Big news for me as customs have asked for their pound of flesh with a 201 quid bill for me as the Broadway static coilovers have arrived in the UK from America today and should be delivered on Monday hopefully.



Oh yeah I've asked Aaron Reeve performance to price up an ess supercharger kit for it

drop that bish! hahaha can't wait to see it all dialed in

Definitely my favorite BMW of all time..Looks like you got a gem there, sir. Wheels wouldn't be my choice, but that's my opinion, and opinions are like assholes - everyone has one

please keep the shape of the arch it look so nice, full the lip and add camber, maybe shave the back pad down

Cheers buddy

If you have room to shave the backpad down, I would do that and run some camber. Those arches are way too nice to ruin.

Cheers buddy

Super clean car man, great work!

Please don't listen to the e36/46 owners,just camber the rears a touch to bring them in and leave those arches alone!
