Add an orange license plate surround, maybe? Do you already have an orange OPPO sticker on her somewhere?

I could never paint the OEM plate surround, it’s integrated with the bumper and the trim and painting it would ruin that.

Nice! I meant a separate surround/frame for the plate.

You get a star for having an E39. What model is that? Here’s my 2000 540it:

Those new headlights make a huge difference.

Now I just need to fix the auto-leveling so they’re not pointed straight down. And I need to find some driving light bulbs that match the color temp of the xenons.

Nice! Those cars will last forever with proper maintenance, the M52 + 5-speed combo is quite robust. I’m still rocking the auto in my 540it, but it’ll eventually get replaced by a proper 6-speed.
