This is how it all began. She went from this...

...to this.

stnick's 1990 BMW 5-Series Stock-standard, BMW executive Saloon.

Sophistication and Class, but in serious need of individuality

stnick's 1990 BMW 5-Series Interior is still standard, although VDO entertainment, and blue courtesy lights add a different aspect.

3.5L 155kW/211HP engine, suitable for scaring local V8's. Nothing much will get modified here.

stnick's 1990 BMW 5-Series Window tint was the first modification.

Althought the ride height immediately needed attention!!

stnick's 1990 BMW 5-Series They gave it a bit of the 'Rollerskate' look :(

Still a bit too much wheels-arch gap in this photo...

stnick's 1990 BMW 5-Series In its current guise... The "King's Springs" 30mm lowering kit fixed the excessive wheel-arch gaps!!

stnick's 1990 BMW 5-Series

Updated Clear Lens kit gave the 14-year old 5 series a cleaner, modern edge!!

stnick's 1990 BMW 5-Series A far cry from how it used to look!!

Just because it looks 1000 times better than your police car!!

Its a great car, you must be very proud of it. Thanks for your email by the way. I like the modifications you have made to your bimmer. Where do you find those cleared lights? I think they definatley do give the car a new modern look. Its a great car, look after it. And it is a chick magnet. If a girl dosent like bimmers, she's a ding dong.
