    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.

                                    Debating about blacking out the emblem since I don't really want to debadge. Thoughts?

                                      These seem to be similar quality to Racelands

                                      http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=130930660467

                                      Nothing to lose there. Check reviews. There are a few others for around the same price:)

                                      I also think you should just debadge the car. Blacked out emblems have never looked right to me.

                                        Awesome! Looks like they aren't a direct bolt on to my 540i though; I need to get some top mounts?
