Sold my modified Audi B5 S4 a couple weeks ago in preparation to get my new car:
2002 Carbon Black M5
78k miles, DSP, rear fold, no PDC, no shades
It is rainy in Boston (yes, still), so no chance to really play. Great shape, and definitely a keeper
Things I need help with... will search, but if you have answers, please post 'em:
* nicer floor mats (like, maybe with some sort of logo)
* fix ash tray in center console (won't close)
* need to get rid of the new crap riken raptor rear tires (burnout time!)
* MKIV upgrade, or a least new CDs for the MKIII (or aftermarket)
* cup holders -- both are busted
* big time detail
* cf wrap interior trim
Here is a terrible picture of the unclean beast. Glad to be aboard, finally.

* nicer floor mats (like, maybe with some sort of logo) M5 Mats have an M5 logo and they are nice. Try BMW Wheels : New and Used Factory BMW Wheels and Floor Mats, they are a dealer and I think a full set of floor mats is something around $100.
* fix ash tray in center console (won't close) Post a pic maybe someone can tell what is wrong.
* need to get rid of the new crap riken raptor rear tires (burnout time!)
* MKIV upgrade, or a least new CDs for the MKIII (or aftermarket) If you need a CD for Mk III, shoot me a PM.
* cup holders -- both are busted Yeah, they are lousy. Factory replacements on ebay, around $35. Search for TEC and Ultimate cupholders, two favorites of many board members * big time detail
* cf wrap interior trim One of the board members (razahyde?) just did it and I believe he is providing it to board members. You will have to a search on that one.

The ash tray may be as simple as pushing the removable container back into place properly so that the lid can close.
If the cupholders stayed closed away in the console then leave them there, if they don't close away, delete them or replace them. In either case, if you want good cupholders do as Jerry suggests re TEC.
Mk4 Nav upgrade is worth it for DVD nav, less disks, and faster functionality of navigation, along with other audio upgrades.
Have fun with your beast.
Most questions have been asked before and answered thoughtfully on this board, so have fun reading.

The container is stuffed back in its place (and even removed), and it still does not close. It swings fully shut, but doesn't "engage" and flops back open. Annoying, especially since I don't ever plan on having that thing open. I'd be content with a "always shut" pseudo-fix.
The cupholders, unfortunately, are busted and stuck *open*. Unsightly. I will replace I guess. Easy to get it in and out of there?
Actually, up first are coolant flush and fill, brake fluid flush and fill, and oil change. I like to start "fresh" in my records.

The cupholder on ebay looks correct (although a bit pricey), it fits all E39. With the holders open, you can see the two screws that hold it in.
Tool kit will not have the warning triangle, will not have jack or lug nut wrench (from memory). As you might suspect, this has been addressed. Do a search or check the FAQ at the top of each page. It has a ton of info.
