My new E39 535i Sport

Does the exhaust boom at all when just cruising with that setup? I could fancy doing the same.

Not really, no

Lovely car. Is this a 5 or 6 speed manual? What kind of 0-60 time did the 535 get officially?

Very nice, i have had my 523i SE for 3 years+ and just keeps tonking along. Great cars.

Pre face lift, no angels?

The 535i is a 5 speed. Only the 540i Manual and M5 were 6 speed in E39 flavour.

official BMW time is 0-60 in 6.9, however I have read it's closer to 6.5

I prefer those wheels to the E39 M5 ones if I'm honest.

[BriC175]

Really? I think I prefer M5 wheels

I always think M5 wheels are quite clumsy/fussy looking. But, They are on an M5 so would put up with them and they suit the car in a way.

But yes, On a non M5, 18" Para's all the way.

Set of BBS Challenges on an M5 for me, please.

BBS LM's are probably my favourite aftermarket wheels, but even the standard wheels look just as good IMO!

Pics of my new dash top, and just a couple my friend took for me:

Looking good, sounds awesome aswell!

Was the dash from Maca on forum.bmw5?

[BriC175]

I did indeed!
