Re: E39 540 - New Member - Pics

Hi,
Your car looks great. I just bought an '02 540iA sport 6 speed with most of the bits you got. I forced the dealer to put 18" cross spokes on it. I haven't done pics yet but will take some later and post. Its black with sand interior and I really like it. I traded my 01 M3 and this car just feels more solid, and even feels quicker with the torquey V8 off the line. I wanted to ask what suspension mods you did. I kind of like the soft feel of the heavier car but might want to tighten it up a bit and am always open to suggestions.

I appreciate most of you are M5 owners, but have learned great deal from this board and would like to say "great job!"

I have carried out the following in order:

new h/lights, rear lights and grill
rebadged the boot
new sport front/rear bumper and rear spoiler
M5 mirrors and interior mirror
uprated the suspension
new wheels and tyres
and unfortunately I've just had to fit a new radiator

I have tried to stay with a standard 540 sport look.
