Love the e39 and as strange as the e60 looked, with the right packages it also looked great.
F10 not too shabby neither. I was going to say more than the cars it shows your quick salary increase to me!! I need to progress quicker as well. |

I like the color. shows a lot of maturity. I have two suggestions for you. 1, throw on a M5 bumper, the car will look Great! 2, i see you are in NY, I wouldn't recommend you run 21" wheels. I'd say 19" is a great choice for DD. I am happy with my 19" wheel/non RFT tires and H&R springs

Once you get some more mods done and want to do a photoshoot with my F30, let me know. I'm in Chapel Hill/Durham.

That e38 thou......I searched for one with manual and good miles forever before I got my e90. Reliability concerns was one of my reasons for stopping my search, too bad. My favorite bmw I think. Because James Bond.

Congrats on your new acquisition!
Here's something to think of about wheels. http://www.adv1wheels.com/blog/inven...-deep-concave/ http://www.adv1wheels.com/blog/inven...0-m5-adv7-mv1/ About the M-Sport steering wheel, it's not just the trim that's different, the wheel is also more thick in size - but that's easy achievable after a re-trimming. Good luck in modding! |

I also had a e39 6mt msport and I loved that car. I moved to a 545 and then to a 550 m-sport w/ sport auto trans. I was a 5 series fanatic. I had a loaner 550 f10 for about a month and I also test drove a ///M5 6mt but unfortunately I could not get over the size the 5 series grew to. I was shocked that my e60 felt smaller than the f10. I actually went the opposite direction and ended up with a ///m3. It was a good read and it brought back memories

I like M5 bumper than the M-sport to be honest. don't you think 21" wheel will be too heavy?

Great report. To me the E60 M-Sport still is one of the best looking vehicles.
Why not M-Sport on the F10? |
