I really applaud your effort on this! Every time I see an E39 on the road (alot!) this type of project comes into my mind and I think I will start one up when I get more free time in the fall. I have no doubt that I will fall in love with the car all over again, but my biggest concern is how the car has held up all this time (from a mechanical point of view that is)

Thank you guys. I do really love the classic look of the E39 and i love the standard look in combination with an V8.. Everybody think it's an 520i.. 
The color is Biarritz blue metallic.. I love this color..
The next mod would be Hella facelift lights and black piano interior trim. More pics to come..
