They are actually much brighter then my 2007 audi a6 avant with asf headlights. I swapped the taillights to the updated facelift version that use led lights for the brake lights and i still have the original taillights should the new owner decide to swap them back. I deleted the clutch delay valve (cdv) for a more direct clutch feel, ultimately extending the new clutch's life. I did a rear muffler delete and added my own rear section of exhaust with twin double wall tips, slightly more growl when on the throttle, extremely quiet at idle and when cruising, no drone whatsoever. 60lbs in weight savings and a nice increase in torque. The thicker eibach rear sway bar combined with the new shocks and new control arms really transformed the way this car handles, it takes turns like it's on rails. The ride is tight but comfortable, it honestly rides like a new car, nice and tight but it is not a harsh ride by any means. I'm 36years old not 17. This is not my first 6-speed 540i, i'm very familiar with these cars and especially with the m62tu engine, i've rebuilt several e38s and e39s, one e53 with this terrific 4. 4 engine. For what it's worth, i am a factory trained master audi tech with a big passion for bmws... I've had over 20 of them including a few i should have never sold like two euro 635csi cars. Oh well, too many cars, not enough time. This particular car is truly a solid one, drives like new and can put many new cars to shame when it comes to power and handling. They just don't make them like they used to. There are no warning lights on the dash, no hidden fault codes, no squeaks, no rattles, no clunks, this car is very well sorted out. The driver's seat was showing its age so i swapped the leather cushion from a 740i, the 540i seat back plastic cover is slightly shorter so it doesn't cover it completely(pictured). The sunroof motor is currently unplugged as it was noisy when trying to open, i have no use for the sunroof and i do like to open/close the windows with the key fob so i just unplugged the motor. There is a small split in the seam on the back seat(pictured), it's not the leather is the string itself, easy fix. There is a full spare in the trunk but that tire should be replaced. I have a friend with an e46 m3 and my 540i is just as good if not slightly better in the twisties... I absolutely love this car. I'm pretty bummed to have to sell this car especially after investing quite a bit of time and money to get it where its at and that's the ultimate driving machine but life happens and the bmw has to go. I put about 5,000 miles on this car (3,000 since the major work completed) and it always puts a big smile on my face, i would not hesitate to drive it cross country. Fly in and drive home, this 540i will not disappoint. The car is located in boise, id 83716 feel free to check it out in person.
