My E39 540 posing up on the Blue Ridge Parkway before the last bunch of mods. Really need to get back up there and gets pics of the new (bigger & better) tires, Dinan exhaust, rear M5 trunklid spoiler, and black M5 mirrors. I should also get pics of this badass M62 B44 4.4L with its new DINAN hop ups.

Here is how she looked when I got her. Previous owner neglected an expensive suspension job, so I got a great deal. I took that oppurtunity to add a navigation/multimedia/sound system plus some performance and cosmetic mods.

Cosmetic Modifications;
Angel Eyes with black out corners
Blacked out tailights
18" Breyton Replicas (Black with machine lip)
Blacked out license plate
Clear side markers
Black and white BMW emblems on hood, trunk, and wheels
20% window tint all around
M-style Front Bumper
Black Body Moldings
'02 grill (black w/ chrome lip)
New Floor Mats
De-badged
Black M5 mirrors
M5 trunk lid spoiler

Performance Modifications;
DINAN; Cold Air Intake;High Flow Air Mass Meter; Free Flow Exhaust; Stage 4 Engine Software; Stage 4 Automatic Transmission Software
18" Breyton Replicas (Black with machine lip)
staggered 8.5" front & 9.5" rear
BF GOODRICH GT's 245/40 in front & 265/35 in back
M-style Front Bumper
M5 trunk lid spoiler
bunch of aluminum and M suspension components
Transmission was rebuilt.

Man, the DINAN upgrades and that 309 HP is everything I could have imagined and more. Driving this car is what I want to do all the time now. That M62 B44 just rumbles through that DINAN exhaust, and with this thing breathing right its responsiveness is so much snappier, especially with the transmission rebuild and DINAN software
I'd like to lower it. I haven't decided the right suspension to use. I'm thinking the adjustable Bilstein coil over kit, but H&R seem the industry standard and DINAN talks up the Koni suspension systems.

Navigation/multimedia/sound system;
Pioneer AVIC-D3 DVD Multimedia AV Navigation Server w/ iPOD adapter in the armrest compartment and bluetooth cellphone integration with microphone.
Pair of 140 W FOCAL K2 Power 130 KP w/ seperate TN 52 Tweeter and Crossover
mounted in the doors in front
Pair of 120 W FOCAL Polyglass 130 CV1 in rear
JL Audio 250/1 & 300/4 Amplifiers
JL Audio 13.5" Sub in vented box
K40 Radar Detector (hard lined)

The amp rack is mounted on the back of the rear seats in the trunk, behind the sub-box.

I love my PIONEER AVIC-D3. The navigation system is AWESOME. The iPod integration is AWESOME. The touch screen interface; AWESOME. The picture quality for both videos from the iPod and dvds is great. The D3 also has video outputs for additional screens in the headrests. I also just got a sweet deal on the bluetooth adapter for the AVIC-D3 ($90 off eBay). It integrated my phone and answering and placing calls thru the sound system and included microphone without ever taking my phone out of my pocket is so SWEET & SAFE. Its so sick that I hate having to hold my phone to my ear when I'm not in my car.

Here are some pics of my lady's '94 E34 525i touring.
It has a fresh paint job
staggered 18" factory wheels
clear side markers
new head liner
K&N Cold air intake
Alpine head unit
Focal kick panel speakers
Pioneer amp mounted on the folding down backseat
10" Pioneer slim subwoofer custom mounted in the stock disc changer compartment as to not interfere with the cargo space, but still bump.

checkout these great picks from this great article on bmwm5.com where their plan was to drive a E60 M5 from Stockholm, Sweden to the Swedish supersportscar manufacturer Koenigsegg on Friday evening. The following Saturday they scheduled a factory presentation as well as to use their 1,6 km long landing strip to test and document the E60 M5 vs. M5 E39 of 2000 model year (5 liter V8 with 400 HP) and the E34 M5 Touring (340 HP straight-6 with a displacement of 3,8 liters) of 1995 model year. Later that evening the plans was to drive to Denmarks capital Copenhagen and then on the Saturday evening back home to Stockholm.".
