Picked up this beauty this past weekend from a friend of mine.
2001 auto with tan leather
Plans:
Lower it and new struts
20% Tint
Style 32 wheels (Local guy has them set aside for me)
Shadow all the chrome trim
Stereo upgrade
Repaint the rear bumper (a lot of scrapes and gouges out of it)
Replace the cup holder (already ordered)
Get some dings fixed
Drive it!

Don't forget to refresh the cooling system and check that valve cover gasket.
I so want Orient Blue.

Nice color touring.
thanks all! I have coilovers on the way, my precut tint, a LOC and amp kit to install my Infinity basslink, and I'm picking up some used Style 32s on Friday I hope.
Thats the spirit! Mods coming already!!! Welcome!

If the 32's don't work out LMK cuz I got a set - only trouble would be I don't want to drive them to Iowa and am too lazy to take the tires off and box 'em... (tires are very decent Pilot AS...)

Thanks, but the only reason I am grabbing these is the price. I can't beat what I'm paying for them. It would probably be more to ship your set than I'm paying locally for these. Although, the ones I'm getting do need to be painted.
Got my coilovers and my Style 32s. The 32s are a bright blue so I need to get those painted. But, I found out the hard way that the touring has different rear suspension than the sedan. So I'm hoping the seller will refund me since the listing says Guaranteed Fitments:
ALL 1997 to 2003 BMW 5-Series E39 models (except M5).
They surely do not fit the wagon. I'm concerned though as he asked if they were still new but I had the front already installed before I realized that the rears aren't going to work. Hoping I'll get a full refund even though part of it was my fault for not doing the proper research.

Got everything squared away.
Dropped on coils in the front and B&G springs in the rear.
Shadowed the trim, grills, and 525iT emblem.

Thanks, I'd like to get the back down a bit more.
I was gonna say the same. A bit too much rake the way it sits right now.

how low is this? I really like that height, and as the new owner of the same color e39 touring (tan interior even!) ive been looking for what works well.
