Thanks TJ you too man. Glad you brought the wagon out. Thing looks so sick. I'm hoping to see that m3 of yours aswell pretty soon.

[Brian.]

Loving your car man! Thanks for stopping by yesterday an lending a hand!

[240sxguy]

Nice car man!

[Laishes]

Thanks man. Yeah it's relatively clean and it's a manual; so it's a start!

Andy and I had a good time seeing what she could do on saturday  . I get photo credit too!

Our cars are very similar.

[Laishes]

Your wheels look much nicer though. Mine have clearcoat peeling and they're dirty!

[Laishes]

Ofcourse! Photo creds to Ben and Chris. Without photos this introductory post wouldn't be worth shit.

[Ryan...]

Welcome! The 540i/6 is the 2nd car I wish I'd have never sold.

[Laishes]

Thanks! Yeah I absolutely love the car thus far; my only complaint is ... well.... not a very big one... but.... the cupholders are kinda small for my big American beverages.

My clear on the lips isn't looking so good. I might take them apart and fix that this winter. They're not bad enough where the aluminum is hopelessly damaged (yet).

They'll be broken before you know it, don't worry.

[Laishes]

Well I'm planning on putting in different cupholders eventually. I just don't want it to look cheap; so we'll see.

Was thinking this but I'm still not sure yet. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E39-FRONT-DUAL-CUP-HOLDER-528i-97-00-525i-530i-01-03-540i-97-03-M5-/160990611064?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3A540i&hash=item257bc9c678&vxp=mtr#ht_640wt_1154

I have a tec cupholder, my phone dock is in front of my old busted cupholders.

[Laishes]

Haha very nice! The TEC cupholders are so damn exspensive though

[240sxguy]

Yep, I have had two E39s and two Tec cupholders. Worth every penny.

[Laishes]

I'd preferably like to keep the small little storage area if I can so I'll see how these turn out; I'll order them today

[240sxguy]

Yeah storage in an E39 is a joke. I'd love a flip up armrest setup but I can't justify the cost.

[REKIII]

I bought 2 ultimate cup holders http://www.ultimatecupholders.com/ for my e39.  They are the best.  Never even touch the flip out ones.
