Restoration project is nearing the end. Pretty good going for less than 12 months of ownership. Has been a very enjoyable, yet frustrating experience at times...
Have learned a lot about the e39 m5 along the way, and overall i'm very happy with the outcome. Have considered doing some mods, but imo it's already a modded e39 by the M divison so will leave as is for now, and just keep her well maintained.
Just a few little things to be done to bring it up to my standard (famous last words...)
- Fix stone chips on bonnet (re-spray)
- fix corrosion on window trims
- Get a jack
- New front inner door sill trim panels
- Install genuine xenon headlamp units (awaiting arrival)
Very happy with the wheel refurb, has cleaned up the appearance.
