Kinda want Shrek ears... But If I do that then I'm gonna want to do a full MSport conversion and I won't allow myself to do that to hte car :fencelook:

I've not given much thought to which I prefer, probably due to complete lack of accessories available in S.A for the 5ers.

Enjoy your car as it for now, when you feel you need a bit of a change then perhaps look at changing to MSport. Imo it just gives the e39 a dynamism missing in standard guise...:coolShake:

Don't you dare change a thing on your car :bat:


Except the wheels. You can give those to me or risk ending up in the boot of your own car :bat:

Yeah the Msport does give it a great look, but expensive to change to, if you're going to do it properly... Bumpers, wheels, suspension, seats, door sills, steering wheel, probably other smaller details too :fencelook:

Lols...actually changed my wheels earlier this year. Thinking of doing a couple of small subtle changes soonish.

You've got the same wheels, why you looking for another set?

Do you have pics of the old and new wheels on your car?

Guess if you put it that way, it could be a daunting process...might be better to just buy one. Problem is finding a clean one, not many left.

I do have some crappy pics, will post them later. On iPad presently but my wushu sucks on this thing...:smashScreen:

 

[anton-sa]

just mentioning this... i have ALL THE PARTS from bmw to do the msport conversion, everything you need except the bumpers.

all the brake ducts, the under belly aero cover, the fender liners...
i have all the black body mouldings
everything. i decided against going thru with the conversion..
those intertested can pm me.

i will be placing a proper add sometime this week with pics

 

[rodga]

I may be interested in the under belly aero cover and the fender liners
would be great if you can list part numbers :coolShake:

Add:

Front wheel arch liners (they have air ducts)
Boot spoiler
Headlights - clear indicators
Tail lights - clear indicators
Black trim (bumpers and doors) - (no chrome)
Anthracite roof lining
Thicker sway bars
Stiffer springs
Higher damping on standard shock absorbers
I think alignment is also different - seen it mentioned somewhere
Larger front brake discs
Different tyres - lower profile and wider
Lower diff ratio



Rob, your traction control button... What does it say?

We met in the parking area at Crazy Detailing earlier this year, you stopped by to meet the guys before we went to the BMW meet in Lenasia.

My car is Orinoco in colour had the style 66's on then.
