Details:

Luxury package includes Black leather and Wood trim, plus overhead "makeup" lighting most often found on e32s.
Cold Weather package includes heated seats, heated locks, heated mirrors, and heated washers. Also includes an LSD diff.

I have added the Factory rear lighter option, and a German rear fog switch & headlight tilt switch. And I also added the rear map lights found on EU e34s and US 7 series.

I recently added an electrochromatic (autodimming) rear view mirror (with integrated Alarm LED) from an e46. This replaces the manual mirror that all US spec cars were equipped with. Cool thing, the mirror doesn't move like on the same year 7 series, the mirror glass tints darker or lighter.

Coolest feature:
A one off folding reverse facing third row seat with 3 point belts for both passengers.
Second coolest feature... IT IS NOW A 5-SPEED!!!

Scratchbuilt iPod dock hidden in the OEM glovebox flashlight dock

Amplification:

Amps are tucked away in the cubby.
1: a/d/s P640.2 20th anniversary edition for the front 3 ways

2:PPI Art A300 (factory watercooled) for an upcoming sub.


Still undecided on Subs (looks like PG cyclone or 1 12" idq might be the ticket).

Speakers: Nokia! Front 3way.

Engine:
M50 non vanos 2.5 liter I6.

Real handlaid CF one piece fuel rail/valve cover shroud combo just to spice it up a bit...

Drivetrain:

Converted from Gm france 4l30e Auto to Manual. 
Currently has a period correct 3/92 ZF310 5 speed box (aka 95 M3 tranny),
manual driveshaft, and a matching 3.23 LSD rear end. I Used all factory parts in the conversion.

Very involved swap, but I did it all myself, in my garage, with hand tools, a jack and jackstands!
