Just thought I’d post a couple of my favourite photos of the car:

That is looking very nice. The e39 shape is just so right.

Those photos didn’t have the d/glazing in the rear q/lights but they’ve been done now - not sure it really makes any difference but gives the windows a slightly reflective look

Does the d/glazing make an appreciable different to interior noise levels?

I'd say nothing dramatic as the E39 is a quietish car to start with, the main noise is tyre roar that wouldn't really be reduced by the d/glazing. It's a nice touch and apparently reduces steamed up windows in some circumstances but as I always run the air con that's not much benefit to me!

Thanks Barry, that makes a lot of sense.
