Looking for an e39 Touring black carpet set, including the rear cargo cubbies and side sections!
ALSO looking for 540i 6speed manual transmission sets (2001+ pedals with switches, driveshaft, gearbox), for the 6speed swap! Probably not for a while....

Aluminum quick connects + rubber hose would be nice. That's the only way you could do it. Aluminum radiator (like the one from RK Autowerks), custom aluminum quick connect hoses, an aluminum thermostat housing, and the Stewart water pump should pretty much solve the E39's cooling troubles. The auxiliary water pump/heater hoses aren't under as much stress, and the expansion tank rarely fails if kept at the proper level and the coolant is changed regularly.

You can also get the lower temperature thermostat. That takes a lot of the stress off the cooling system which translates to a much longer-lasting cooling system. Look at the E39 M5— it rarely has cooling system issues even though most of the components are built in a similar way. That's because it runs at a much lower temperature than a 530i/540i.

Black? Nah I used to have all black mufflers (body and tips), but am over it. The bodies show becuase I purposely wanted them to fill in the entire opening in the valence, hence why they sit lower than most others'. And they're symmetrical, the lazy eye dude reference doesn't hold; see the other posted picture It's the lighting in this photo and the fact that the muffler on the left has taken on a dullness to it for some reason that's making you think that they're misaligned lol.
Believe me, there are very few people on this forum who are as meticulous with their car's features and details as I am.
All of that said, yes, the mufflers will be getting a complete adjustment (upward) so that I can fit the rear Hamann spoiler snuggly onto the rear bumper. And soon.
