Thumbs up Pics Of My 540i and CLS 500

well they are stock cars, but i'm thinking of changing things on my 540 so if u know someone who can advise me on the pages... tell me plz. I never thought i would like to change something on it but time has come to do some modifications.
Its been six months since we have the CLS 500, but i guess i still prefer to drive the 540. I made i little race between the two cars and i can say that the 1997 4.4 engine is just great coz i was a bit in front of the cls from 0 to nearly 120 mph than it came back and took the lead till nearly 135 mph. Since i bought the 540i I never wanted to change. its just an amazing car.. I'll put on the pages the vids of the races when i'll have them.
I didn't have time to take pics of the E class and the 325i.
Hope u'll enjoy the pics...

On the 540, I would change the head-lights and tail-lights to the European clear corner units. The head-lights would be nice as Xenon units, and the rear as CELIS. I also recommend updating your front kidney grille to the 2001+ wider version. These are simple mods that will freshen up the look. Lots of options on: BeastPower Motorsports, Inc. - BMW Parts and Accessories

Cheers, Daniel.

thanks for ur help. I saw on the beastpower.com the Active Autowerke Front Grille for the BMW M5 (e39). I wanted to know if I put a M5 front bumper, would this grille fit on my 540 or it's just for real M5? For the other things you said ur totally right.

BTW what do u think about the wheels? I would like to have ur opinion.

You are welcome. The Active Autowerke Front Grille will fit all of the M5 (e39) models, and also any other 5-series (e39) model that has the M-Technik front bumper installed.

You might want to consider swapping out your front and rear bumpers for the M5 (e39)/M-Technik bumpers and you would have the M5 look. You could also add the thin M5 (e39) trunk lip spoiler. These parts are expensive new, but I am quite sure that your local BMW dismantler/salvage yard will have them. Here is a list of places you can check (please note that I have no affiliation with these companies, and no experience with them, so use at your own risk):As for wheels, I personally don't like the look of chrome on BMWs, and feel that your car would look great with either a set of the stock M5 (e39) shadow chrome 18" wheels, or a set of aftermarket 19" wheels such as BBS LM or one of the many DPE models.

Cheers, Daniel.
