Default Supercharged 528i VF5 E39

Just would like to share my Supercharged VF Engineering 528i. Upgrade included the EMP Stewart waterpump, Supersprint Exhaust and Level 10 tranny. She's lots of fun!

Great looking 5! Honestly there are not many modded 5-series around here, but I'm sure they are like a dime a dozen in Cali

Love it, you have inspired me for a future project. I love silver 5s of that gen, IMO one of the most beautiful BMWs ever made.
