I'm just in the process of selling my 318i in order to purchase a 5 series, somewhere from 2001 to 2003, so its an E39. I'm just wondering if I pick up a SE model, (I have the option on one for a great price)would it be possible to make it look like the m sport model, (exterior only)which I think is light years ahead of the SE. What would have to be changed to achieve this or is it so much hassle and pricey that it wouldn't be worth it?

Thanks for any help you might have

Check the UK BMW magazines, there are plenty of ads for companies that do just this. Here AC car sales may have experience of this.

Bear in mind that to get the full effect you are looking at lowering the suspension, the SE sits higher and with the Mpac might look a bit odd.

dont buy the se if you want the sport, not worth the hassle and you will wish you had just bought the sport anyway
