The Unofficial Official E39 Picture Thread

[Sam Son]

I searched high and low but could not find a singular thread that covered this. As the title states... this is THE E39 picture thread. Post pictures of your E39. Daily pictures, photoshoot pictures, walking back to the parking lot pictures, I just completed a ton of work pictures, whatever floats your boat pictures... you get the idea..

Post them up. Let's see your E39s

Here it is the day I brought it home..

Don't look too close you'll see all the rock chips from following cars with sticky tires. Tail of the dragon pictures always look good.

I have to say I'm continually impressed with the quality of cars in this subforum. Every car in this thread looks amazing

Love style 42s. My father bought a 530/5 sport pack new back in 2003. Wish he had kept it. Blue Water metallic, slicktop. Miss that car.

Proudly keeping the average car age very high down here. Bonus points if you saw the E60 and E34 the first time.

@crdiscoverer, how do you like that VF Engineering blower? Asking for a friend...

When was that group buy around here? Probably like 10 years ago or more? I've had zero issues with it. It turns a 528i into a 540i but lighter and with rack-and-pinion. It's no M5 but that's fine, it definitely doesn't come with the associated M costs. I'd say if you get a good price on the kit and you really, REALLY love your E39 and don't want to ever see that money back again, do it. I've plenty of fun with it and it sounds amazing.

[kallekula]

I would have bought that kit a long time ago if it wasn’t so damn expensive. On top of that you need an LSD too.

Jim,
This is the pic I meant to send.
The reason Miramar was known as "Fighter Town".

How much horsepower and torque does it make? I've been considering getting a VF supercharger kit for my 530i, but don't know if it's worth it or not. 330 hp with 280 ft-lb of torque would be ideal for the 530i.
