Stanced E39 540 V8

[RoddyE36Mtec]

Ive been on here a while now.. and previously owned the above car which some of you may know!

i have now went on to sell that car and i originaly turned to the darkside and bought a Nissan Silvia S14a Turbo,
But shortly after decided i needed another Bmw back in my life while looking for a E36 M3 i had a think to myself and decided to go down a different route as i have now owned a few E36 so i decided to purchase a E39 540 Manual.


Here are a few pictures of the car :









Then the Rondells, Tryed to polish them best i could till i can get them refurbed :





















I will go on to document all the work done to the car over my ownership and hopefully you will enjoy reading the build thread as much as i will building it

Comments Welcome.

Looking forward to where this goes. If I hadn't found my E36 Touring back in 2009, most likely I'd be rocking a E39 as well now!
