Good luck, and have a lot of fun with the 540i! Lots of fun stuff you can do to that car.. And IMO, one of the best looking BMWs ever

Still working on the mod list. Definitely tinting it the first chance I get, then adding some black rims. I love the black/red combo if you haven't noticed. Any ideas?

It definitely must be a west coast thing for the black rims, everyone else thinks they don't look right...

Ah yes, another E39 to the family. For excellent advice, you can go to the roadfly site. A quirky set of owners there, but extremely helpful. I of course can answer some questions that you may have about your new E39 M62 machine!
The sport package (there was no M-Technic package in '01, only '03) is decent, but still too soft, IMHO. I went with H&R springs, Koni adjustable shocks and M5 front and rear sway bars. The felt as if it had dropped about 500 pounds :-) 2001 came stock with Style 32 17" wheels. Time to upgrade!! A very popular choice is the Style 37 M-Parallel OE or replica. I love my SSR GT3s though - FAT lips!! Besides tires/wheels and suspension, the next thing to do is update the looks - easy and not too expensive - especially if you already have HID. Get the Hella CELIS headlamps, Hella CELIS LED taillamps and clear or smoked side turn indicators. They are all a direct fit without modifications. Did you get a manual? If so, replace the trans fluid with Royal Purple Synchromax and the diff fluid with RP MaxGear. For relatively cheap and easy performance, a 3.15 LSD from the M5 will fit the bill. I'm running Axxis Deluxe Plus pads and OEM Balo rotors for good braking performance and NO dust (same combo will be on my X5 very soon). Too many other things to mention, run some ideas up the flagpole - we can flesh them out!! :-)
