Mo's E39 530i Individual

[msm]

Love it, Mo. Very glad to hear that you will keep it OEM, or OEM+ at most.

On the wheels, what about inch style 32:

Style 32s look amazing in 18s, but in 17's, I prefer mine (style 66)

However, have not seen style 32 in 18" locally. Would also grab those if I can find them. I stand under correction, but I don't think those were offered in SA though.

My previous E39 with Style 32s:

I miss that car :blueCry:

Yes, sorry I was referring to Style 32 in 18s. I think might be right that they aren't really around in SA. Unlucky.

U can get 18" style 32's from the agents, 8k per wheel.

Replaced the windscreen rubber surround. New rubber was R509 at JSN. Relatively easy DIY. Took quite a bit of time removing the old gasket though as it started crumbling in certain places. Spent about an hour removing and cleaning all the little pieces that fell into the channel. New gasket took about 10 mins to put in -
just need to press it flat properly after a day or 2 after my fingers recover from the cleaning process, so after pics are not quite perfect yet.

Good Job... great to see her being perfected.

Small things here and there will keep her pristine.

Didn't Moose have a set of these for sale for E39??? Check his threads...
Peter reserved them for a client but the client didn't take them I guess... Last I saw they were still available.

Congrats Mo. Didnt this car have the M Parallels on it when WyKid had the car?

Those were 17s. Does not make sense for me to go from one style of 17s to another style of 17s. Also, the style 66 that I have seems to be quite rare.

In any case, after the rain in the last few days, I've made a decision to keep the original wheels for now. Will just need to buy some tyres by December.

Oh ok! Same style but different size. Yeah the rims on there actually very nice!

Finally off to Gizmo yesterday afternoon for a complete mechanical check-up:

Why is it on a flatbed Mo?

The salty, cape town air didn't agree with it.

Was just the safest and easiest option, until I know a car is completely safe to drive.

Mo, any updates on this fine example? Last we know it was towed away.
