My Ride: 1997 BMW E39 528i/5m
348/N6SN (Aubergine/Sand Beige Montana Leather)
0468 Ski Bag
0494 Heated Front Seats
0971 5 Series Mats
0465 Fold Down Rear Seats
0488 Lumbar Support
0677 Premium Hi-Fi System
I am thinking about fitting an E60 stock muffler to my E39 528i. I like the look and I doubt the sound would change much. There was never any stock E39 setup for showing tips that did not require the M Tecknik kit bumper. I think all I would need would be the stock rear muffler off an E60 and I should be able to have a good exhaust shop mount it. Any mufflers guru's to voice in?

Have you seen my post on stock e60 M5 system for sale? I wonder of the drivers side section would work for you? See pictures.

I used to have a e39 (great car) and the system seemed similar- I'd bet a decent shop could fab the drivers side in and you'd have cool 3" round twin tips.
Just a thought- good luck.
