2002 E39 540i 6MT Restoration | It Needs How Much Work?

I just can't help myself sometimes. I have an empty spot in my heart for early 2000's BMW's. I already have a 2002 E39 M5 that I converted to a track-only monster. Since then I really missed driving an E39 on the street. This beauty will hopefully fulfill that need.
