Congrats! Don't listen to them. Those Imola and Chiaretto guys are just jealous of our color. Glad to have another one back in Charlotte!

Lose the wooden shifter, then it'll be spot on. Are those OEM rotors, they're overshadowed by the huge BBS. Welcome back!

If you do want to get rid of the wooden shifter, and it's in good condition, I might buy it off you. Just a thought...

Looks great man. Considering the sorry state of my OEM rims I'm quite jealous of your unique setup.

Congratulations on finding your “new” E39. May you and your new beast have many years and miles of trouble free joy. She is a pretty Beast.

1) Love the wheels! if you ever want to sell them let me know.
2) leave the depo lights i think they look great!
3) Not too sure on the intakes, do not run the oiled filters thought.
4) who cares, floormates go under your feet. Just get em dirty and trash them and buy a new set when you need.
5) darker tint maybe?
6) have a leather specialist look into tightening up the seat covers?
7) move the ///M5 badge to its proper place
