Need Input on (many) possible mods! - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

So I dont have an m5, but I do share the same e39 body and since this thread is all about about looks I figured you guys could help

Okay. So just when i thought I wasnt going to be doing any modding for awhile, a friend called me up to let me know he was parting out his car

I am thinking about snagging his 19" bbs rg-r's, practically brand new t1r's, h&r coilovers, euro spec hella headlights, hid fogs, and carbon fiber interior. I cant believe I am even considering this, but I am.

I have a feeling it will look amazing, but I just need some reassurance and want to hear what you guys think about all those possible mods.

I think the craziest part is that I may sell or store the car next year

pshop on my car

That car is way too low. I'd say pick up the headlights and fogs. I don't like the color on the rims, but to each his own.

thats a crude photoshop. The rims are just regular bbs diamond black and the coilovers will be set much higher. I am thinking I will pick up the rims, coilovers, and carbon fiber interior trim. It should set me back under 3200. I am a little skeptical how the cf interior trim will look. I have the wood trim on an all black interior and dont like it that much.

Here is a better pic of the wheels

take it and do it

...so u won't have to ask urself what if...that car is cool, rims are nice too...did he mod his headlights? (want one of those)...goodluck...

he just has the hella euro headlights/projectors or whatever they call them

Hes doing some video shoot in a couple weeks and apparently the company doing the shoot is going to take off everything (thousands upon thousands of mods) after the shoot and part it out, so if I want anything I need to snag it by then. Im really leaning towards the h&r coilovers, bbs rg-r's, and t1-r's. It will be 3k or so for all of that. Im still debating between the hella euro projectors ($450) and cf trim ($200).
