Post your 5 series pics here!

[AlpineOtown]

Hey Ladies & Fellas,

I just recently sold my 325IS and I am currently on the market for a 5 series preferebly 2000 540I. I would like to see some pictures of any model 5 series to help me and maybe others as well who are in the market for a 5 series. I am not sure what color I should get and would like to see different colors so that I can compare.

Any pictures is appreciated this will greatly help me and hopefully others as well. I tried the search engine but it's been down for awhile so I thought I'd post something.

Thanks!

[Antrieb]

Ant,

That is my favorite color, but I dont think they have that on the E39's Series.
Is that a custom color?. if so how much was the paint job.

Thanks!

I think black is a sexy color, with 18's black rims with silver polish lips. If any one out there has this description on their car, please post it.

Thanks!

It actually isn't even a BMW color. It is Negaro Blue from an Audi S4.

It really isn't as vibrant in person.

[offthewall]

mine is on my sig.

[AlpineOtown]

My 325IS I previously owned was red, easy to clean and when waxed shines like glass.

[ILoveMPower]

Pic below, this is a 1990 535i 5-speed. It's Island green, but looks really dark as this is a pretty shitty picture.

For some reason I like the color in that picture, it doesnt look green nor black, its somewhere out there. I like the wheels: 18"s? M-pars replicas??, where and how much did you get them for?..


Thanks!

Nice cars! Hey RVAE34, what kind of springs and struts are you runnin?Perfect height! Look good with the acs.

[Verbatim]

Hey, scyrus what size are those wheels? I love them and want them for my car! But, I can only find the 16s on tirerack.... anyone know where they can be found? thanks

[BMW1023i]

[onewhippedpuppy]

is that brodee's old car?

That was my thought too. I would vote for the S52, it's a much easier swap. S62 into an 525 E34 is a LOT of work, never even seen it done.

[GuapOh]

Electric Red or Dead. Good luck finding one though. Far and away the rarest e39 hue. About 1 in every 1000 e39 builds got Electric Red. In its former life mine was owned by an executive from BMW NA. I purchased it as a CPO vehicle directly from BMW NA through a dealer in the Bay Area. Take a look:

indeed they are, they're close out for $99 a piece... lol. I'd get them, but I want at least 17s, if not 18s.

I vote for the M5 V8 (beautiful car, btw)... if you can get the computers to talk. I would imagine a job like that would be an electronic nightmare. Now the s52 would probably be easier, but nowhere near as fun. :D

I have a set of stock baskets I am going to paint black possibly bronze.

[AlpineOtown]

I think I have narrowed down the color I want Either, Silver,White or Black.
Anyone in here know how many different options the E39 540I have for the exterior? different bumpers?. I know their has to be more than one. If any one can post pictures of different options that will be very helpful.

I appriciate everyone that posted pictures in this thread it help me alot on choosing the color I want. Hopefully this will help other bimmer shoppers.

I cant wait to get my 5 series I love how they ride. Hoping to get it by this summer.

[angrypancake]

iirc 2003 540i/6 was sort of an M sport version? someone jump in and help me out here.

and for color... red red red red red red red aw crap that wasnt one of your choices, BLACK!!!!!

I don't know which model, but if you send a PM to MHolbrook, who is also a member of this forum, he could tell you. You can get the roundels from the dealer for a few bucks each. I bought the car from him. No, the star is not visible.

Yeah, if you could store it for a few days/weeks, you would have no problem making back your money and more. E34s turn good profits for parts. I would be interested in many parts. I dont know what would be salvagable, but rims, suspension, shadowline trim, front lip, rear diffuser, and a few others come to mind. I cant afford it all, but I could get some
