Project F11 Euro Wagon saved from the Crusher! To-do list and costs.

Our F11 520d is back from the dead. I fixed the front end, all airbags and major issues, car got bodywork done, paintwork done and miscellaneous fixes to get it running.
I present you the breakdown of costs, and a to do list.
At the time the biggest issue lingering is the 522 and 524 Bixenon with ABL lights which are not a direct swap to H7 equipped F10/F11 cars. I will document this process in the next videos to help anyone struggling with a swap such as this or for a post accident repair when getting donor parts from a car so equipped.
Is it worth it? No. Did I save money? Also No. Was it fun and did I learn a lot? Absolutely! Would I do it again? F**k yea!!!
I learned to code the F chassis finally, bricked an old laptop in the process for reasons unknown :) so essentially a casualty of progress.
Once the lights are sorted, major maintenance is on the table ... so keep a lookout for that video and what to expect when buying a used BMW.
