E39 M5 is obviously an amazing car, among the best really.

I'm suspicious though, when someone claims 600 hp RWD and it dead hooks hard shifts into 2nd gear on cold damp roads. Maybe a lack of midrange torque from the centrifugal blower?

The wheels are about 10mm too far outboard in the rear. Makes it look rather immature.

Sorry to sound negative, but IMO it's difficult to mod a car like that without spoiling it. Changes should be very carefully considered, because the car is so right to begin with.
