Built a turbo M52/S52 cam E34 and then sold it to build a 99 E39 touring with LSx427 which I sold to build this. Owned an 07 E63 AMG between the touring and E38 but it just wasn't the right fit so I built the ultimate car to me. 01 740 M sport with 40k original miles. Freshly built stock S62/6 speed with ESS supercharger. M5 driveshaft modified to fit with the subframe modified to fit a freshly built 210mm M5 diff with 4 clutch upgrade. 750 axles, UUC sway bars front and rear, H&R II springs, Bilstein HD struts/shocks, Brembo GT BBK up front with 2 piece 355x32 rotors, 750 rear rotors/calipers. I paid a bunch of guys I had met on bimmerforums to do most of the work on this one since I was tired of spending countless hours in the garage with my son having turned 4 this year.
I started with Apex ARC8 wheels then sold those to order BC Forged. While waiting, I also picked up a set of Racing Dynamics RD2's but didn't feel like they were quite right. Final wheels are BC Forged HB04 2 piece in tinted clear over brushed. 19x9.5/10 et12/13.
I must admit I really wanted the wheels to be lighter and less bronze but in person they are really growing on me a lot. I may have them refinished but will leave them for a few months.
The interior has been custom dyed caramel with black alcantara headliner/pillars/parcel shelf/black dash and carpet. M5 steering wheel and gauge cluster with white LED retrofit. Modern BMW NBT nav/idrive/OBD retrofit with 10" high res screen.
The car is an absolute dream to drive and made 433 RWHP with 458 corrected.
