        Thinking about debadging the 540i off the back and getting a 525i badge to put on. Can somebody say, sleeper?

          Nothing sleeper about the 540. These fuckers are pretty slow :)

          The PO of my car removed the 540i badge.

            I'd say just de-badge it in general. 

            How are you liking the car?  Id really like to snag a 540i as a replacement for my camry but will likely end up with something that can make a decent home depot run every now and then

                I love my car thus far; the engine is smooth; love the 6 speed manual. heated seats and steering wheel. room for 4 golf bags in the back. while still being relatively quick! And not having quite the maintenance issues/cost of the later VANOS models or the M5

                  Fine, not fast :) At least my car doesn't seem quick. I wouldn't mind riding/driving in your car at some point. There is a distinct chance I have cats that are beginning to clog, which would obviously kill mileage and power.

                                Looking good! Earl, I told him to lower it, but it looks leaps and bounds better then his car used to with the Style 19's. These 172's look good Andy!

                                  Thanks I agree! I think im going to grab some eibachs soon. however putting on lowering springs is a bitch for e39s. got to remove the back seat and such.

                                    I wouldn't even bother with lowering springs. They're just not worth it. You should be able to get a nice affordable set of coilovers for relatively cheap.

                                        If i could find a set for 500-750 I'd definitely be interested.
