For those that owned an E39, it's so funny to think about the Quad look on the E60. It really wasn't even a consideration, unless you had the E39 M5. I remember when I got my E39 530i Sport, but saw the M-Sport Package on the E39 540i Sport and wanted that single exhaust tip to be on the rear of my car as well. It was the exhaust tip that had a straight shot out of the rear. The M-Sport rear bumper even had a cut out for it.

For those that had an E39 540, do you remember that? The older 540 Sports exhaust was buried under the rear bumper like the rest of the models, but the new M-Sport Package had the single exhaust tip. I thought that was so hot.

Now we're talking 4 tips on a standard E60. Crazy how the styles change over time.

Yeah , I still see my old e39 MSport 540 around , great car............... agree about the look ! I'm still liken' the new 335 set up

Pretty much exactly what you said. Its now officially on our 'To Do" List, but we have several projects to finish first... one of which that will benefit the 535 as well... (downpipes).

any chance on a FMIC? I know of issues due to the location of the aux Oil cooler up in front.
