    Wassup guys!!!

    Just wanted to share this new project i've been working on, here are the details:

    2000 BMW 528i 5 speed
    Cosmos Black
    Sports Package
    M5 front bumper
    M5 rear bumper
    M5 mirrors
    OEM roof rack
    Vis Carbon fiber hood
    Matte Kidneys
    Vis Carbon fiber trunk
    Carbon fiber rear diffuser
    Carbon wrapped Di Noc interior
    OEM ZHP knob
    Carbon fiber pedals
    Dynavin all in one head unit
    M sport steering wheel
    OEM sport suspension
    18" Miro 279 BBS LM reps
    Euro "CMON MAN" plate

    and LAST BUT NOT LEAST...

    A fully custom carbon kevlar lip spoiler made to order by Levent @ BMW TUNING PARTS. Big shout outs to them for making this custom piece from me that really makes my car stand out!!!

    Now on to the pics:

    ***UPDATE!!!

    Due to peer pressure, I replaced my OEM sport suspension setup with a adjustable coilover setup:

    I also added fully carbon fiber vented foglight covers



    Here is a pic of the updated rear license plate solution to the euro opening:



    Disregard these below, as they were the 4x4 status

    Please excuse my novice point and shoot photography...besides that, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!

    There's a LOT of carbon fiber, but it looks really subtle/stealthy as my car is metallic black (cosmos). You can't even tell it's a carbon hood and carbon trunk or carbon diffuser, but once you get up close or when the sun hits it, you would definitely break your neck. word to Peyton Manning.

    i've always been sketchy of cf on black cars. to me it just never looks right. cf stands out against the paint. from the pics it looks great. would love to see this up close.

    Wish you had better wheels...
    Still on original suspension, even after all these aesthetic changes?

    Looking for an E39 belly pan , passenger front inner fender liner …

    I had bilstein/h&r setup on my other e39 and this sport suspension is really comfy in comparison...

    Dunno, I might go with coilovers, not sure which brand yet.

    As for the wheels, I was thinking about going 18" staggered style 5s or some other type of mesh wheels...any suggestions???

    yup, that was me. Been there a lot lately for some reason. You probably saw another silver e39 or a black e39 wagon there as well, right?

    he'll lower it eventually...once he's tired of hearing us tell him to drop it and find some real LM's. Another reminder will be everytime i pull up to his house haha

    Placement of your plate looks really dumb.

    plate will go on over the europlate...

    I just got my europlate in and install, prior I couldn't install a US plate there because it only had a euro opening.

    Now that the "opening" is filled in with the europlate, I can put the US plate over the center of it as the trunk is flush now...

    Needs more low. BADLY. It looks silly at the moment because it just doesn't have the stance to pull off all these other aggressive mods. It's kind of like that really hot girl who is perfect in every way except that she has a lazy eye which just ruins the whole thing. Drop it and it will look amazing.

    Looks like money well spent.

    As the front lip was a pure custom piece were you not tempted to do a redesign and make it different from other lips on the market? Or do you think that IS the best design for the E39? Just curious.

    Will check back for more pics hopefully once your car has been washed and moved from the driveway to a nicer location.

    Thats nice...
    i was looking for new threads and i see now this thread.
    dear guys, this front spoiler is maded by me. i will thank to "dunks318ti" he is a great customer who understand what is best quality for cheapest price.
    if someone is interested and want buy please send a private message.
    actually i prefer to send the spoyler painted. so its easier for me and for the customer is just fit to bumper.
    but dont forget this spoiler is very very massive. and not so easy to install. but i will support how it should fit.
    comming soon, Hamann style rear diffuser and ac Schnitzer rear diffuser. both in carbon fiber if required. body material is kevlar fabric.
    fyi: this front spoiler and csl trunk spoiler and the hamann fog light covers are my bestsellers.

    Hey Levent.

    You need to approach a moderator to gain approval to sell via threads on the boards. Good luck with your venture.

    Don't like the lip personally but it's not terrible. Drop the thing asap. Props for how much $ you've put into it.

    the front splitter kinda defeats t he purpose of the m5 bumper.. wheels are nice but dont work on car, and needs to be lowered. quality stuff though

    I might be the only personthat does not like the spoiler in here. It is too big imo looks like a snow plow.

    Hahahahah, I'm not trying to fool anyone. I got the rims for dirt cheap brand new straight from miro's warehouse. Couldn't pass em up, but I am open to suggestions on new wheels though.

    All this $$$ dropped on aesthetics and carbon fiber panels but no performance mods ? Outside looks great but have u considered putting some money into maybe an engine swap?
