Cool. If you're going to modify something, do it right. Wish it was in the UK...!

If you're going to dump that kind of cash into a station wagon why not swap out the automatic?

Also the 13.9 1/4 mile doesn't seem right.

With just minor exhaust and chips...

On this site, here are similar E39's that are not tourings, getting id 12's 1/4 mile... http://www.bmw540ifun.com/Dynos&QtrMile.htm

But notice how he didn;t show a pic of the engine? Why wouldn't you have a pic of the engine if you state it is Dinan S/C'd and worked on by "Steve" himself....

Just odd

Exactly what I was thinking. How can you advertise a supercharged car and not put a pic of the engine on there?

I think the car is beautiful, but looks like a $$$ pit for maintenance, and 13.9 seconds is NOT impressive for a supercharger!!!
You guys are on to him... let's ask him some questions....

I am sure the guy wants an arm and a leg for that car and I can think of many more things I could do with my money.
