I just bought a 2001 E39 520i "Business Class". It is in very good shape but I want to turn it into or close to an M5 replica. I dont care about engine mods just cosmetic. So what will I do first? my budget isnt that big so what will have to most effect for small money?

Thanks lads

My advice would be to try and source geunine second hand parts. The most important things are alloys, front and rear bumpers + side skirts and drop the suspension an inch or two.

I would do the suspesion first, then the alloys then the bodykit.

That way it will look good at the in between stages

Thanks Peter, would second hand parts be better so than replicas I suppose so. Ill try ebay over the next few months in search for geunine parts. Do you know of any sites where I can get the parts.

I don't know any in Ireland, but there are plenty of BMW breakers this side of the water who you could try.
