Default New E39 M5 here. Upgrade suggestions

Hey all,
Im new to the whole forum game, just purchased a used 2000. I have to say I Love it already. I'm already looking to upgrade a few things tho.

Lighting:
1. The headlights don't cut it for me I'm looking for more of the Euro style even if they are aftermarket I don't mind
2. I need in my personal opinion bright white angel eyes on an E39 is a must. I'm looking bright rings I just don't know where to get them or have them installed.
3. I would like full LED Interior, including the lights under the doors, trunk light, license plate lights etc.

1. im in the battle between buying coil overs or springs. I need opinions on both please
2. I Need wheels. wheels is a must definitely something wider and lower offset also staggered. i dont want to be "Hella Flush" just subtle and clean looking.
3. Better Tires

Motor:
ENOUGH POWER FOR ME! lol

since I'm new here I need a little guidance. any help will be much appreciated plus ill keep you all updated on my build

welcome to the not so active 5series forum!

1. what does that even mean? just get hids? or try and come up on a pair of euro headlights
2. trinity autosport. and install them in your garage bro. easiest mod. and tbh, i'd totally judge if you paid someone to install your angel eyes.
3. again trinity autosport

1. coilovers. assuming you're probably not going to be installing them yourself, it'd be cost effective to just pay the cash up front and get coilovers and pay one installation fee versus 2 installation fees for installing a new set of shocks when your stock shocks blow.
2. is this a question? if so, BBS LM's always look sick on lowered e39's. or you can consider some HRE's, Klassen's, DPE's, iForged, SSR. check out ssr ms3. i think that would look SICK on a lowered e39
3. michelin pilots? hear good things about new falken 453. never had any issues with vredestein's.
