here's some pics of my new '97 528i. got it about two weeks ago and so far have debadged, gotten some smoked tails and black housing side markers that look smoked (would rather get really smoked but i think they match with the tails fine).

lame cant post pics yet:

near future plans: drop on intrax springs, 15% or 20% tint all around, baking my headlights (to get out the amber temporarily).

future plans: P39s with 6000K HIDs, 6000K bulbs for turning signals/side markers/reverse light/rear turns, and finally 19s (still don't know which ones but this is going to be a long time from now).

what you guys think? what are some sick rims that will go well with what i'm trying to do?

anyone mind showing me/photoshopping me a pic of how it would look dropped to around how much intrax springs lowers it? also trying to decide if i should go black or chrome housing headlights...any ideas?

M-parallels. If you're going to do some 19's, look into some Alpina style with a nice dish. I've always like those, but beware 19's will bent much easier and the ride will be fairly harsh. I'd recommend 18's personally, many more classy style available and the size looks just right on an E39.
