We finally got a nice sunny day here, so I washed the car and took a few pictures.

your car is the US version, but you removed the front indicators in the side bumper, added the euro side indicators and added euro reflectors in the lights. I love the design of your wheel but don't know about the colour against the black paint. What brand are they, are they 18"s? get some clear indicator lights all round for the car. what springs are you running.

Yeah, I have the Euro headlights and bumper trim (the matching M5 bumpers are awaiting paint). The wheels are 18x8.5" Breyton Imagine replicas by Maxxim wheels. As far as I know, the springs are stock BMW M5 springs. They're being replaced in May with some Eibachs over Ground Control coil-over sleeves.

Here's a better shot of the wheel that shows the color of the spokes and hub:

Windows are already tinted black ;)

Shadowline is DIY with SEM trim black and an HVLP gun :p

M5 bumpers (front and rear) are being painted over the next week or so. They needed a little more prep than I counted on. Hopefully by May I'll have them on.

OT: Ordered a Ground Control coilover/spring setup on Monday. Planning on a weekend of taking the car apart for the bumpers, springs, sleeves and some other touchups. Should be fun :D

All 1995 5 series had the M5 skirts from the factory. You were just a year too early ;)
