The ultimate BMW? Perhaps...well done!

What front brakes are on the car?

F10 M5 calipers with Vari custom brackets and 380mm discs.

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

Now that you know how to do it, it will only take 70% of the time.

Ignorance is a dangerous state to be in as I found out.
The only positive out of this is a happy owner and bragging rights which rights are pretty useless btw so not exactly a positive.
