There is 1 whole page of e39 parts in that link above to the list...

Waiting for the 'auto-tuned' gangster remix of this....

Blackie, did u end up clear coating the outer lips? If so how are they holding up? Have seen reports of the clear coats cracking upon re-assembly or soon after fitting to vehicles.

How much is the DICE kit from that site?

pre-facelift bumper cover for an e39. Not too fussed on paint condition, just as long as the bumper is not damaged badly. Cheers, Martin.

cheers for that, i'll follow suit. Never going to wheelfixit again for repairs....

Blackie -Just wondering how many torques you used to re-tighten the bolts on holding the inner halves. I've seen figures of 34 - 38nm if re-using the old bolts with loctite blue.

I've done the exact same mod to my 540ia. I havent noticed any decrease in performance. back windows down, and full throttle sounds very nice indeed. Would be good to do a before and after dyno run to see if it does affect performance of the engine. The only thing i've noticed is what sounds like excessive fueling on overrun from the 2k rpm to idle range. Very small 'popping' type sounds.

What's up with the 540i badge?

At that price, i'd expect not one single fault on that car. I'll bet after a pre-purchase inspection that car comes back with at least 5.

At a guess around 3 - 4k for the parts, and then labour and re-coding. Might be better to just go for a 325 or 330.

You may be dissapointed to find that they won't fit on the e39 hub (see above post) Style 32's were an option in 18" for e39 very rare tho, and staggered unlike the ones you describe. What car are they coming off?

any pics of e39 with the LM reps?

simple green and one of thos 3m scotchbrite pot scrubbers will take it off, but it will also take the paint off if u scrubb too hard.

A manual conversion should deliver the gains you're after.

Cost is $230 per shell + $40 ea if you want them polished. If you are only ordering 2 there is also an extra $150 setup charge as the minimum order quantity is 4. It is best if I have a centre to measure for machining.

cheers bbs have sent them an email. Did a bit of looking around on the net, and it looks like the wheels im after are also known as RC 039, and RC 010 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BBS-RC010-9Jx17-5x12...=item2c5bc11a15

Just looking for the wider barrels really. I asked Arrow wheels if they could make the existing ones i have wider (8x17) but not interested. Yep. aka BBS RC 0xx Yep got my eyes peeled on there and ebay. $hipping cost would suck tho.

Forgot to mention I'm only after a pair of these wheels. Even just the outter barrels is fine :-)

Pretty sure I have these. I will let you know tonight.

Looking for a set of said wheels. Not too fussed on condition, as long as not FBR. These are mostly found on e24 and e34 Cheers, Martin

It's a pretty fiddly job, don't forget the small screw located in the vent up by the tweeter. pry clips carefully from the bottom, and then lift the skin up, there are more clips that should come loose at the top of the skin by the chrome strip as u lift up. The skins are quite strong tho, u would have to be using alot of force to break one. The clips can break easily tho.
