Few pics of my E39 m5

Good evening all!

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....

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.

Really pleased with the result tho!
