Sweet car beem. You have a 540i in M5 clothing, which is what I have been doing slowly. If you have an M5 driveshaft, I assume that you have an M5 lsd? Am I correct? What kind of mileage does the car have? It looks very clean. I like the mesh.

What did you end up paying on yours if you don't mind divulging?

well its almost all M5 clothing but not quite there! I have the Dinan 3.15 LSD. The mileage is a little over 100k, but I cant notice unless I look at the odometer

I picked up the car just for about 20k. I realized its not the cheapest deal considering year and mileage, but considering that many of the mods such as headlights, the Dinan kit, etc, were on it - I was going to do them myself anyway, so I wouldve been well over 35k when I would've been done with it. This way I can save up for that S/C

Gosh, thats going to take a while

The car is fully loaded except for the Nav. and really clean in and out. The front lip needs to be resprayed though - rock damage. But what car doesnt have rock chipping damage??? (unless its not driven)

I would really like the M5 speedo as well - those look so much nicer! Anyway, I'm gonna go out and snap a few more pics and post them.. Its driving me nuts that I can't drive it right now though! Oh well, patience.......

Oh and the europlate is coming on Monday. I feel like there is an empty gap on the bumper that needs to be filled!

Btw Dinan540, I love your car color! That was my initial choice but when I saw the silver, I couldnt pass that up either

looks sweet!!! must be a blast compared to the e34 although i still prefer the feedback in the e34 to the e39 steering.
I would black out the chrome and have the nice silver/black contrast going. Looks amazing though!! if you like chrome keep it, i just hate it on bmw's...

ok Ive been slacking on pics, but will take them tomorrow for sure. Should be a nice windy day at the beach - i'll see what I can do there. Also, I changed out the mesh for stock grilles and I like it better with the stock ones (M5 wide grills though).
