I'm considering doing some inexpensive changes to the car, so far all I have done is change the number plate lights for LED ones but what else is possible without making it look 'Chav'

I'm considering the black grills and maybe next year some different wheels (ideally 18" Parallels)

The car is a black E39 528 Sport with factory tinted windows, leather etc etc.

I do like the look of this car:



Mine is missing the 'T' bar bit from the grill on the front bumper but being black you don't really notice it...

This is my problem, I think i'll look out for some 18" Parallels and just keep it clean. I have had it detailed when I got it, by a PHer to see it through the winter but think i'll have the stonechips and marks done on it once the winter is out the way intime for summer.

Please be nice to it, the good ones are slowly getting ruined by people with no taste.

M Parallels sounds like a lovely idea, but make sure they are genuine ones and not fakes.

OP I think the car looks amazing the way it is with those BBS wheels, I would leave it how it is

That really does look very lovely. I bet whoever owns it is very happy with it.

I seriously don't intend on ruining it, I bought the car partly for the way it looks, there will be some paint next year but that without saying on a black car. I may think that 18's and black grills might be it for the exterior.
