Ok, you guys got me thinking the right way....

I like the white also. maybe flat white?

[Dubmd]

[JSanders]

What they said. (WHITE)

[fuzzy]

white, gun metal or silver

[Stan Marsh]

go full polish, I think it would look best. Or a satin white.

I just got a question for the OP. What are the offsets on your wheels? A friend of mine is picking up an M5 and wants to get some wheels for it. Hes a fitment nut, but doesnt know too much about the E39s

No idea what the offsets are. They were meant for an m5 though. I'll calculate them when I take them apart.

None of these colors look right!

any other suggestions?

I've been thinking to just polish the living daylights out of the lips, black bolts and a tad darker silver centers(which ends up being free Boeing A300 silver paint my dad can do at his job) with the blue or maybe switch to black lug nuts.

My advice is to stay away from skinny tires.

I went from a 255/35 square setup to 215/40 on my old 5er to be "slammed" and "stanced legit yo".

My god, the damn thing couldn't take a curve for shit. 3600lbs on a 215 is not a good combo.

Plus a 215/40 is super short and will look funny.

Whatever you do, I'd try to get the most tread width possible. Personally, I think your car is spot on as it sits.


Good luck!

I would love to find a 235/265 setup with a side wall that stretches a bit. Smallest tire I'd go is the 225/255 combo. All I need is about 10mm of clearance in the rear to get the rim flange alinged with the fender and same with the front.

I've gone from a 245/275 to a 235/265 and I really don't ever wanna go smaller than the 225/255. This car handles like it's on rails.

white works.

but that bronze/Orange = HUGH WIN!!

now do work as they say on here!!

[Neb]

satin black would look nice
