BMW E39 540i 20inch 6 speed "the original"

[Jesus Christ]

Although i am not a fan of the wheels, everything else is breath taking.

I would kill a man for those seats with vanity mirros and rear tray tables. Are they from a individual 7 series?

MO my friend! Your car is by far the premier class. Your ideas and perfect execution impress me again and again. I'm curious what will come all.

Your house construction will prevail at the moment, but again, you do everything perfectly and this takes time.

Great job on the colorchoice!

Hi Mo! Welcome to Stanceworks. I'm glad to see you here. Your ride is the best OEM+ e39 I have ever seen. Your modlist is awesome. I'm looking forward on your next upgrades. It will be hard because you have there almost everything, but I know, that you will invent something. Those Vossen looks realy sick on your car! You can do perhaps something with fitment and you will be der Chef Klipp & Klar

Hello girls and boys


I am Mo from germany, and I really like your style!

I like rebuilding and have lots of fun in doing that!

But my headline is more the moderate than the extreme. My passion is the realisation at second glance....
What BMW designers forgot to implement into the E39 program, for example lots of the 7-series extras-list or those of other BMW models, I took care of to add it to my cars project.
But some of the added extras prevented others from beeing implemented.

In the mid of 2008 I bought my E39 540iA after I had a really bad accident with my former owned E39.
After crawling out of the totally wrecked car without the slightest scratch, it had to be an E39 again!

Sure everything had to be different this time
And I sweared to my wife to change nothing but the wheels and lower the car a bit....
The extras list was long and nice to read, the former owner had done it right and the car was here to stay.
Buuuuut.....: that state of mind didnt last all that long and finally a few modifications were done....

Most of the things I retrofitted are of other BMW models and were reworked to fit my E39. Most of it (except the paintjob) I did myself.
Some examples of how I work: I only use original BMW wiring harnesses nothing else. The rear headrests only start moving up after the passenger has fastened the seatbelt.
The raer seatheating has been made of OEM X3 heating mats, wiring harness of the E38 7-series and switches oft the E53 X5.
Lordose pillows were completely taken from E38 7-series.

Since the E39 is an almost perfect car in my eyes, I didnt change the obvious. Instead I tryed to stay inside by most of the upgrades. And so I like it very much, when most of the poeple that look at my car just recognize the fine incredients just at second glance unless they are reeeeeeeal experts....

But see it your own....
