Alpina wheels original.

A before picture of the car as it is about to be transformed.

It is my intention to document the changes.

I find it very convenient to take pics with that CSL poking it's head in the background, just to make all jealous, please edit your pics and repost as these pics are not in keeping with the spirit of this forum. You should take heed of the fact that your behaviour is deplorable and unacceptable.

[Gordvisr]

any updates ?

 

[Peter@AEW]

So the update
Car being driven away by its owner

 

[Peter@AEW]

A very challenging project that sucked some 400 to 500 hours predominantly trying to get the e39 M5 electronics and cluster working on an old car.
I think BMW should have built it with an S62 instead of the V12 as it is far better balanced and responsive.

A worthwhile conversion if one has the means financially.

Would I do it again...not that sure
