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 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.
