To both of you for the helpful responses. I at least have a better idea on what the car actually has on it already, soo now its just looking like i gotta get something done with this scuba tank and find an m5 replica bumper, coming up this weekend i've gotta tackle the infamous valley pan & water pump. I've been delaying it here for a little bit now, since i'll already have the intake off though ive really been considering dropping an M60 intake in, i've done some research on it & from what im getting..is the air rams are bigger and you get more torque out of the top end?..if i'm wrong in any way at all someone please step in and correct me cause i'd like to be schooled on it as much as possible about what the pro's/ con's are with doing the m60 intake swap

The oem angel eyes typically aren't that bright. Someone at some point swapped the lights and bumper.

Or would it have came stock in 97' with the m5 taillights front bumper and the angel eyes, cause from what i know the previous owner was a man in his late 50's from ohio, she's beautiful though, only 1 tiny. Tiny. Tiny spec of rust

Headlights can be swapped easily. Tails not so easily, unless you buy the specific Hella retrofit kit that includes specially made tail lights.

Basically LCI means facelift. Im not sure what the years are for pre and post LCI for e39's. Its usually small changes in the look. Such as differnt headlights.
