Congrats. Change headlights, tail lights, and throw m5 bumper for the looks part of the car. Black grill would look nice on that color too

Welcome and that's a clean looking car. Keep the headlights. I love the clear corner look. Might want to add clear side marker lights to the list of exterior mods.

Beautiful vehicle. Don't think I've seen that color in person. I like it!

Good call. The amber does not clash well with the exterior. Clear would look better. Still a great looking car. I really like how the rims are recessed at the lip on these cars.

Maybe ...

It is just me...but, personally - I don't find anything inherently 'wrong' with the car the way it sits...To me it exudes BMW, clean fresh, stylish and quick. The tint and wheel mods look nice the way it is...

believe me the m5 body kit is defiantly going to happen, once that is done i'm not quite sure if i should go with the Clear fogs or Yellow fogs
I love the sporty look the yellow fogs give a Bmw

Thanks a lot, Personally I love this color. Besides mine I've seen one other e39 in this color, but it was not a 540i.

Nice, but the headlights are hideous and scream "cheap eBay shopper"

I thought the style 42's only came stock on the post-facelift 530 sports. I love them though. They fit the E39 so well.
