In a world full of knockoffs, it’s really cool when you get to see the real deal. This E39 BMW 540i is a classic example of the German full size sport sedan, boasting a few genuine AC Schnitzer upgrades and other goodies. While we serviced this car’s brake system, we took a closer look at what gives this E39 its stellar looks.
The E39 Suspension had already been modified, but a closer look was warranted to know what we’re looking at.
The car featured Eibach Suspension goodies and a couple of bits from H&R.
Giving the wheels their flush look is a set of H&R TRAK+ Spacers for BMW E39 5-series.
The E39 has been dropped with a set of Eibach Pro-Kit Springs for BMW E39 5-Series, which drops the 540i 1.5 inches up front and 1.0 inches out back, which coupled with the H&R Trak+ Spacers, give the car the low-slung, aggressive stance you see here.
We’re told these are genuine article wide 19 inch AC Schnitzer wheels and have been with the car almost since it was new.
While they’re not everyone’s cup of tea, these wheels for BMW E39 5-series do look rather nice.
Under the hood, we found a Cold Air Intake for BMW 540i and a DINAN Strut Tower Brace.
The 540i sports an exhaust system befitting a muscular V8 – a Magnaflow Catback Exhaust for BMW E39 540i.
Now let’s take a look at the finer details.
We love the subtlety of the ACS Trunk Spoiler for BMW E39.
The E39 Lighting has been upgraded as well, boasting a fresh set of projector headlights with halos.
This BMW 540i boasts an M5 Style Front Bumper for E39, giving it a sharper look than the tamer standard nose of the 5er.
Here’s another angle on the M5 Style bumper. 
One of the other great subtle touches we love on this car is the Roof Wing for BMW E39 5-series.
With regular service, even classic modded Euros like this ACS Modded E39 BMW 540i will be around for years to come.
Thanks for joining us and we hope you enjoyed the photos of this gorgeous example of the E39 bodystyle. See you next time!
