BMW 1999 E39 535i 8-Cylinders

Hello everybody

i'm a new comer to BMW.. and to this website too, this will be my first post and first thread :P (two in one combo, haha :P)

any way, i had recently got a BMW 535i 1999 model, been driven about 84K Kilometers (not miles, as to kuwait consumption, 20k is a usual years usage in kuwait, so if u calculate it that way it's only been used for about 4 years instead of the 6 years)

interior is almost in perfect condition just a few minor things like the Temprature buttons for the AC on the driver side are broken, otherwise it's in pretty spiffy shape, the car was used by a girl so it pretty much never had it's engine played with (as to wut i intend to do with it :P)

right now i only got a couple of idea's, change the front and rear headlights, put in the newer styled ones.. install some Xenon lights, change the rims, and finally give it a nice Black paint job (as i love the color black)

anybody have any other ideas about wut to do to the exterior to make it look nicer?

any help would be appreciated

also, i intend to make the engine a bit more powerful, any idea's there as well?

thanks alot everybody!
this forum is awsome! gonna start reading through the past posts

The M5 front, side skirts and back make the car look sportier, especially the front.

i've got a couple of things i wanna put on this car when i get the paint job done

first things are these black grills

then there are these smoked side marker lights

also there are 2 emblems.. one is Silver and Carbon fiber (which come for both hood and trunk) but they both come one size which is 82mm (while the hood will fit, but the trunk is smaller, i think about 72 or 74mm) the other emblem is white and carbon fiber, and i can get 1 for the trunk which is the smaller one and 1 for the hood which is the bigger one.. but i would much rather get the silver/carbon fiber ones :/
anybody got any idea if they both will fit?

and last is an emblem for the steering wheel :P

by the way.. anybody have any idea how much horsepower is under the hood, stock?
i've been looking everywhere (even went to bmwtips.com and looked at their specs page and found nothing on 535) :/

thanks again everybody
