Great thread! Amazing the 535iA didn't come with leather as standard.

I would like to buy a cheap E39 540i (6 speed) and fix it to mint condition.

I think you should change the temperature sensor. Even though it is cold in Norway, it can't be -40C in September ;-)

In Denmark:
BMW 530dA (-04)Titan Grey ll, Leather Black Dacota,
Titanium Trim, Sport Suspension, 122-style rims, (116-style winter), Active steering, Sports Steering Wheel, Xenon, Alarm, Comfort Seats, Advanced A/C, Bluetooth, Sliding armrest, Pro NAV, Voice Command, Logic 7, CD Changer, Extended light package, Front + Rear Heated Seats, Rear Airbags, PDC, Auto Dimming Folding Mirrors, Trailer Clutch, Folding Rear Seats, Skibag, Cup holders, iPhone 3G Snap-in adapter, DEFA electric engine heater, CIP 33 with MP3, Autoglym for detailing.

In California, sold but not forgotten:
BMW 328iA (-96) Alpinwei� II, Leather Black Montana
Fully loaded ;-)

Thank you guys for the compliments.. Yes it's amazing that 535iA didn't come with leather interior as standard, but i think it's more amazing where the first owner didn't ordered the car with leather interiors.. The temperature sensor is already changed.. Old photo :-)

How fantastic that can do that level work. Also it's obviously a hobby you take great pleasure in. It must like therapy from the day to day stress of a work.
Congratulations. I wish take on a project like you did, so methodically well planned.

BTW, what was your total expenditure? Did the seats come out of an e60? What wheels are those? And how much time did you spend?

Thanks.. You're right, the project is a therapy. The wheels are Rondell D58 with 8,5x18 235/40 ZR 18 in front and 10x18 in the rear with 265/35 ZR 18, bought from GS bildeler in Norway. The seats is not from E60 but an wrecked E39 540iA. My total expenditure right now is about 25.000 USD (only the car) and totally with those mods about 31.000 USD.. Norway is expensive.. Then you can see how much i paid for my 08 520dAT LCI.. 125.000 USD.....!!:!:!!! :nono:
