Newbie self-intro

[ALIAS]

Hi all. Just to introduce myself. Am not exactly new to the forum, having used it for research in the past couple of months. I find it extremely useful, especially when it comes to a sophisticated, high-maintenance car. Anyway, I'm a newbie to UDM ownership, having recently purchased an E39 525. Taking my own sweet time to do up and bringing the car to tiptop condition. Enjoying the ride :top:

Thanks guys. I'm quite happy with the exterior low-key looks. First thing I did was window tinting, 50% VLT side and rear and 70% front. Got a few items to fix here and there. Oil sump leaking but will wait for the next oil change to do it. Roof liner also sagging. Will try and DIY if I can find suitable glue. If doesn't work, just tear it out and give it to the pros to do it. Was quoted RM500.

Months later, when the time comes, will change shock absorbers. Bilsteins are supposed to be pretty lasting so will likely opt for that. Will probably lower the car a tiny bit. Thought of changing air filter to Pipercross drop in. Using it in my other car and engine roars fiercer under acceleration. Soundproofing don't seem to be necessary since the interior is quite quiet.
