Agree with comments on the colour. It looks great. Still a great looking car too.

Put some Michelin Pilot Sport or Super Sport tyres all round and it will drive much better. Probably the best change you can make.
Totally agree with this. I have super sports all round on mine and the grip really is good - still spin in first (if pushed hard enough) but struggle to in second however, Super Sports have been discontinued in the size required for E39 rear... therefore, Pilot Sport 4 look like the option now. Those and I have good feedback on the Sport Contact 6 which a friend is running on an E92 M3

Also a valid comment regarding them being new and needing a good heat cycle to "warm them up"

Pilot Sport 4S are the replacement for Pilot Super Sports, Pilot Sport 4 are the cheaper version leading on from Pilot Sport 3.

Meant to be much better in the wet than the PSS too!
