    My car is finished! Pics inside

    Here is what my car looked like over a year ago:



    Since then, I ditched the m-par reps and went with 18x8 style 42s with Michelin Pilot Supersports. Awesome and superlight combo!

    Here are my other mods over the years:

    Euro Hella Xenons
    M5 rear swaybar
    Msport II front swaybar
    M3 SMG steering wheel
    Akebono Euros
    Koni Sports
    Vogtland springs
    Dice Mediabridge 1500 w/ Sirius
    Autodimming rearview mirror w/compass
    Ebay special 1pc strut tower bar (makes no difference)
    M5 full shadowline
    Cupholder delete trim panel

    The reason the strut tower brace does nothing is because the e39 has an amazingly stiff chasis as it is.

    How much for the m-pars. Ironically i have wheels exactly like your new ones, but made by ARA, and want to switch to the old ones you had lol.

    Car looks stunning.
    Info on the M-pars?
    Did you "hookup" the paddles shifters?

    Thanks for the comments. Paddle shifters do not work but I may tackle that someday. Discount tire credited me for the wheels and tires. They just couldnt get them balanced despite numerous attemps and two sets of tires. I guess some stuff you need to leave to the pros.

    Looks great! IMO an M5 bumper would set it off.
