This is madness 
But good luck with it, i would shit my pants of to go this deep into...modding? It isn't modding anymore it's reconstruction.
But only one question strikes me: Why don't you just sell your car and get an M5. I mean we are not talking anymore about the M5 mirrors and M5 exhaust, we are talking about the full transplant of the heart of the beast plus the SMG 3. So? Wouldn't it be easier to lease for an M5 or just buy it if you have the cash then deal with all the headaches? Wouldn't it be alot safer?

But as Andy says the income tax system in Cyprus is too high. I bought my car for 43.000 EUR a year ago and the M5 price was 187,946 EUR. So.. for me it worth it plus the fact that it would be an amazing and exciting mod. I will keep you all posted. I am just waiting for the law to change so that i will be able to register my car as M5

hi there.. was wondering,the EUR1200 u quoted was for a complete set of the m5's brake system(front n rear)am i correct? i'm guessing they are used?
price seems very very reasonable.. any problems with the ABS n electronics?
i'm interested in doing this swap as well,just curious.
bro,u are indeed a brave man.

Maybe it came off from an total-loss M5.
But the upgrade is really cool.
Just want to know where I can grab up the M5 brakes at the best price
Brembo is too expensive for me :$

Or, for much less than 1/2 the price above (?425.00) at ebay motors, but you have to pay a considerable price (?290.00) for shipping (as they weigh 80 Kg.) and also import taxes... Let's see how much the total price will be...
Sorry Doc 
I owe you some beers and some burning steak plates, a la N?rburgring, next time we'll have a meet
...although you raised the price by like ?150.00
