I'm selling my e39 M5 Style 65's x4 with tyres, let me know if you're interested ๐๏ธ Original BMW Style 65 (getting pretty hard to find, especially in good condition..!) ๐๏ธ Professionally restored & seldom used since (fitted twice) ๐๏ธ 18x8 ET20 & 18x9.5 ET22 staggered set (thanks Google) ๐๏ธ No buckles or curbing ๐๏ธ Zestino semi slick tyres 07RS compound, rears are 07R (slightly harder) ๐๏ธ Fit e46 m3 with hub adapters (included), likely other models too (of course, perfect fitment on the e39 m5). I ran these for a bit then had them professionally restored and repainted by Wheel Fix It. They've been in the shed for about 2yrs now gathering dust, and realistically I'm not going to use them on this car again. Keep them white to stand out or repaint them shadow chrome - without repairs needed this is a pretty easy job for a pro. Let me know if you're interested - welcome to set up a viewing with prior notice. Test fitments as final due diligence only.

Another mild change-up underway. I've picked up some carbon parts from offshore, so am in the process of installing them. First off the bootlid, mix of pre and post facelift bits:

Made me search up some old pics. Unfortunately pre-2015 are all photobucket so have watermarks (they're on the first few pages of this thread if you're interested). It had 20in Work wheels originally which I swapped for some BBS LM reps in 2012 or so. Still have all oem parts in storage (including all the oem wheels). This car is like lego, which keeps me interested over so many years. Although my interests have changed of late to much older cars from a different German brand, this one remains...! It has outlasted a lot (and was a bit touch and go for a while there whether I could keep him).
-
Yeah Skepple sure knows his stuff..! He was awesome to deal with too, I'll definitely use him again for designs in the future. I just wasn't driving the car much with the livery, and have other plans for it - but I did enjoy the time it was wrapped. It's certainly been through some changes over the years in my care haha! I also like the current setup but it will be changing again shortly, hopefully before Jan.

She won't look like this much longer new bits have started arriving from Japan. Rollcage stays for now, I like it too much. Front splitter is going in the bin and the Fancywide rear diffuser will be uninstalled (both scrape on everything and have seen better days, time for replacement).
-
Spent a little time on this one over the weekend, removed the wrap and tidied it up a little. A fair few carbon fiber replacement parts are on the way, this should look a bit different again by xmas.

Took this on to Hampton Downs a few weeks back to support the Porsche Club track day. A foggy morning presented an excellent opportunity for some cool pics.

The irony! Hahaha. Exceptional platform for a head scratching promo car I'd say

If you thought the Sony Carplay tablet install was a bit of a far step from OEM you're gonna love the latest changes to this one.

As per title, e39 m5 wheels for sale. I had these professionally restored and repainted white in 2020, new semi slicks at the same time. Details in auction. I donโt check Bimmersport much, best place to contact is Trademe cheers https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/wheels-tyres/alloy-wheels/listing/4534754568

On the contrary, I think it looks great. Which is lucky, being that it's my car

It's only been a year since an update ...! Not huge progress in the past year, just under 500kms driven since last Jan and some custom audio work by Rapid. They made a false boot panel to block off the rear with a sub in it, the noise difference is immense. They also installed one of these Sony CarPlay tablet things with a reversing camera, oo-er so modern. Living in a Showcase currently (these are cool) but out this arvo for some trim tidyups then we have some branding being applied next week or two, watch this space

Bit of a thread dredge but whereโs you get your carbon bonnet out of interest please? Iโm running the Geoff Steel CSL airbox now, and agree the noise is glorious
