      Yeah, pretty similar to old top gear before the budgets got daft when they moved to amazon. I think it’s amazing what car throttle do, if they had a bigger budget to play with I recon they’d be more successful than current top gear, which i still can’t bring myself to watch

      As the owner of a BMW E39 which I bought for the equivalent of £2500, I can say: No. The car has cost a lot of money and nerves so far. But I love the engine and the design. Getting his E39 back in shape will not be cheap. Luckily it doesn't have too few miles, there must have been some replacements, despite the lack of service. The rust is bad though.
      My E39 only has 90000 miles. Almost all parts are still the original and initial delivered parts and fall apart bit by bit. Mainly rubber and plastic parts.

      @@rockinghorsesciencemechani6020 actually it takes more to build a car than just raw material. You'll need employees who engineer the car. Then you need to order material which is delivered by...? Employees. After that the car gets crafted. Guess who will do this? Yeah you're right, more employees. The car will also need to be advertised and sold. Since no one is working for free the expenses go way up the 8-10k estimate you did. Big car companys can sell their cars for "cheap" because they produce in bulk. If you'd build 1 car and do all the work by yourself (provided you have the knowledge, tools and time) you'd may be able to actually spend that less.

    It would be cool to see the issues of the car fixed, service done and afterwards get the most effective tuning. It’s a diesel so renap tuning would make it feel swiftier. Or- just drop in a shorter diff that you can get from a 520i manual (3.64 ratio).
    Endresult should be a swiftier, cleaner version of what you have now.
