this is the first ever lsb widebody E39 touring in the WORLD!!!!

Also check the side skirts with the faded carbon fiber. a vorsteiner hood will make its way atop the slightly beastly s/c'd m62 as well....

Thanks Martin! =) The interior of the car will be completely redone next year. I intend to do a black suede/cf fabric combo with some custom plexiglass boxes and mounts for the ice/vid setup =)...The black dash will be a part of it...

For one year, it will be daily...once the interior, BBK, and tranny swap is done...It'll be a garage queen =P...

Here are my thoughts and opinions and I really hope its taken in a positive way, im by no means bashing this car !! ;)

1.. Color is insane, I love it..
2. Wide body work, side skirts, hood... look awersome.

some things im not feeling...

1. Wheels with black lips.. they are just not working, its making the wheels look 10x smaller than what they really are, I mean.. c'mon, their 20s, and they look tiny.. lol .

2. Amber tails and front Hella's, I wouldve kept on the old light set you had.. even though these are an "upgrade" from what you had.. technically speaking.. I think the old ones were better looking and suited the car nicely, given they were "Clear corners" and not amber like these

3. The front grill just makes it look "rice", specially since its not matching with anything else in the car, maybe if they were matte-black and didnt stand out like a Strut grill kit..lol.

4. Im not really getting the Roundel's .... I think nothing would have matched better than the factory roundel's ... but I can live with those...

I think what throws it off alot is the interior, making the wheels really look out of place. I think you should throw on some tint until your get your interior redone....

again, Im giving my input as "contructive criticism" and not to bash on what is practically becoming the sickest E39 touring ever..

3. The front grill just makes it look "rice", specially since its not matching with anything else in the car, maybe if they were matte-black and didnt stand out like a Strut grill kit..lol.


ya gloss black grills would really set the car off. besides the grillS, i love it!!! A 25MM spacer out back and some new grills, it would be the best wagon in teh world!!!:buttrock as always, good ish jo!

Yeah, +1 about the grills Jo. They look ricer on an otherwise sick ride. Congrats!!!

Thank you guys for all your positive feedback and most especially for your respectable and mature criticism. I hear you guys completely. Trust me guys when I say this, but I will be my biggest critique. I will be honest myself. There were things that didn't pan out the way I wanted things to come to result to. But given the time and resources I was contraint to, we did the best we could. Here are the following things that will be corrected:

1. Rear wheel stance: Ride height has to be readjusted. The touring right now is dumped. The rear wheels are literally touching the arches. I will take pics of it later on. I will have to increase the ride height and shave a lil bit inside the arches so scraping will be at the minimal. With that being said, I will also be able to push the wheel even further out when I acquire the new set of wheels which will be at 19x10 fronts and 19x13 rears. The wheels will stay with the black theme regardless if it makes the wheels look smaller.

2. The amber tails and front corner are staying. I'm a big amber fan ever since I was a teenager. That will not change at all.

3. The front grills were not painted correctly on time. The black chrome on the grilles didn't match up with the black chrome centers of the wheels. When I get back, I think I will have them all completely painted in gloss black to match up the rest of the car. If that still doesn't work, I'm going with the regular black kidneys painted gloss.

4. The roundels are staying. It's an inside joke between Filipinos =P...try googling it, "Victoria Court Philippines" =P...

5. A visit to the tint shop was part of the schedule the Saturday before SEMA. Unfortunately, the car was only ready at 11PM from the body shop and roll out to Vegas was 6AM Sunday. I'm definitely tinting the windows when I get back to town.

6. LSB Paint: LOL, either you love it or hate it. I used to HATE it, but it grew on me. It's an OEM color, but wild at the same time. My intent with this car is to be wild but still be in the ranks of BMW standards...lol.

7.. Next year, the car's interior will be then focused on. Black suede with CF fabric accents will be in full effect. The vid/ice setup will be as intense as it is compared to what I've done in the exterior. Manny tranny swap will be in order. Big Brake Kit is already in the works too...

Overall guys, the touring is a far cry from perfection. Honestly, I'm only 75% happy about the car. I'm satisfied for the time being. He does look good right now, but I'm gonna make sure he'll look even better =)...And once I'm done with modding him next year, and it still doesn't reach your expectations because I won't ditch certain things like the ambers...well, that's my personal touch I want to stay true to. In the end, it is MY car and I drive it daily =)...so I should make it my personal liking :D...I'm sure you guys feel the same about your own car =)!

But big thanks to my fellow Bavarians for all your words, praise and criticism alike. You guys pointed out valid points =)...
