Default Little E39 mod for the diesel machine :)

The standard exhaust exit is pathetic to say the least, limp and saggy (a bit like Paddy the other night )



So I have done a little jiggery pokery and made it look that little bit sweeter with a nice pair of 2.5" exits that not only look subtle but suit the car aswell



Not bad for a couple of hours work

Are they "Twin Look" exhaust ends you can buy from halfords that bolt onto the original?

Looks like it.

Nice crazy paving though.

Cunt.

That looks like carbon fibre from here, but I don't recall any E39's having that as a roof option

It's stick on carbon "fibre look" sheets from the same place as your exhaust extensions.

My exhaust "extensions" never came from halfords - they arrived on the back of a wagon in a 7 metre length from K -Steels

not quite scaffy pole, 16 gauge 2.5" mild steel pipe, bit of heat resistant paint to protect and all is good

From here? You got a better vision from your end, as from here it just looks like a gloss black roof... To dark for carbon

It looks a bit like the panoramic glass roof they put on the later 5 series touring.

It's a left hooker, so unless the image is reveresed it could be some special edition in the States? [house looks american, what with the flag an all ]

Anyway, back on topic.

Whoopdeedoo, Gracies stuck some toilet roll tubes on his exhaust and painted them black.

Don't worry mate, I couldn't see it either.

He's just got his contrast and brightness turned up all the time because his mum was right! Masturbation DOES make you lose your eyesight!

He thought that rule only counted if he just did it to himself, but when you add up ALL the wanking he's done....

yup BBS LM's on that silver bimmer - far too expensive though!! I've just found a tasty set of 19's to order this week - 9.5" wide at the back!!!

The roof has been painted gloss black, not sure why but reckon it works really well!!
