You won't be able to de-cat it Ian, or well not legally de-cat it anyway. Cats are needed for the MOT test on cars newer than 1992 or something like that. I thought you had sold your E39 yonks ago? Obviously not D'uh! Your car looks good, why do you want to change it? Andrew |

Hi Andrew .. CAT's can be removed as long as it still passes the emissions on the mot then they don't have to be fitted question 6: http://www.motester.co.uk/mot-quizans.html ive sold my car 4 times now but i keep pulling out the sale, ive had one chap from Ireland pleading with me to sell him it but i can't seam to let it go!, as for it's look's i'm just a little bored with them at the moment paint or graphics would be a final change i'll see how it looks with new wheels and a better suspension set-up |

[QUOTE=523 iAN] http://www.motester.co.uk/mot-quizans.html[/QUOTE] It's chuffin' scary what you can get away with in the MOT test! I'm heading out your way today, I'll be at the Railway Bridge that is being repainting at Dumbarton East Station. I've seen big Stevie with his M5 out there twice now.....and plod in their marked E60 moaning about the temporary traffic lights that were there! Andrew |

Ian i would leave it the way it is now.Its great project.But i understand you are bored and you want changes and at the end of the day its your car but dont make it a racing car.E39 its a limousine and if you add too much "fibre glass" it will not look nice.
Have a look at this one : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-E39-528i-M-TEC-SPORT-2000-V-REG-HI GHLY-MODIFIED_W0QQitemZ270179412021QQihZ017QQcategoryZ9837QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#photos Im sorry i dont know how to paste correct. |

help: pics wanted
Topic Options
i'd love to try make it look like a touring car so if anyone knows of a E39 race car i'd like to see that.
.. hehe just joke'n. i stay about 1 mile from that bridge but funny enough i'm never on that road much, if i am out that way i'm probably more likely to be in our wee flip-painted Mitsibushi Colt you can't miss it 
or should i say you'll hear it first, gotta nice big loud sound system fitted
