Iv been on here a while, picked up some useful hints etc along the way, so decided to share a few pics of my car and how it stands now.
Full spec is as follows:
Evolve 4-1 headers
Evolve decats
Supersprint X-pipe
Supersprint Magnum rear boxes
BC Racing RM coilovers
Ipod intergration
Stoptech 6 pots on the front
Stoptech 4 pots on the rear
19" BBS LM's
Remap
X5 bushes
currently waiting on delivery of some Evolve intakes with MAF delete then it'll get mapped to suit.
done a few other OEM style upgrades, replaced the headlights with new hella items, cured several oil leaks and recent clutch and flywheel change. Now has Mk4 dvd satnav and digital Tv tuner.
Car is a money pit, but i love it! the noise is awesome!
ill get some proper pics one day that arnt taken on my iphone....
You have a very nice car there. I absolutely love LM:s..simply the best wheel money can buy for the E39 M5!!
cheers,
SodeM5
Thanks,
i really like the std wheels however when fitting the stop tech 4 pots on the rear i had to run a 10mm spacer to clear, the tyres then scrubbed and the handling wasn't to good so the only wheel i could find which looked as good/better than OEM was the LM.

"I look at it like this. Owning an M5 is kind of like dating a slamming hot big-t...ed blonde, who is a pain in the *****, drains your cash, but screws like there's no tomorrow. Owning a Honda Civic or the like, is akin to dating a girl who is fat, ugly, smells a bit where she shouldn't, is a cheap date and doesn't screw at all (you don't mind). So yeah, I'll take the blonde." (Courtsey of Jetpilot718)
