This 1999 Dinan 5 started out as a top-of-the-line 540i with a $54000 sticker price. The Dinan modifications total an additional $28000, essentially adding 50% to the price of the car. Worth it? You'd better believe it. The big BMW sedans never look better than when they're dressed in black, and this 1999 E39 5-series wears its original coat of Black Sapphire Metallic paint that has been babied and protected since it was new.

Slightly deeper side skirts were added, which visually lengthen and lower the body, while an ever-so-subtle M5 spoiler was perched on the rear deck lid. Working in concert with that trunk spoiler, there's a separate AC Schnitzer roof spoiler perched at the trailing edge of the roof just above the rear window that helps channel air smoothly over the car and improves high-speed stability. Most of Dinan's technical wizardry takes place in the BMW's ECU code, where revisions allow the 32-valve V8 to run a little better. Hardware modifications include a Dinan cold air intake, a Dinan throttle body and high-flow mass-air meter, as well as the Stage 4 software package.
