This was my most enjoyable detail yet. 1991 BMW M5 w/ 60k miles. The only other person to touch this car is its owner, who is a very hands on, meticulous guy who demands perfection. I was told to take as much time as needed to get it perfect. Its spent plenty of time at the track and at one point or another was a daily driver. After spending a lot of time with this car I found it hard to believe its 16+ years old. Just in moving the car around the driveway and in an out of the garage I found the engine sounded incredible and throttle response was very crisp. Truly a timeless machine.

2 days and 18+ hours later she was finished.

Great work...gorgeous detail. What was the process to clean up the marks on the interior trim panels? Magic Erasers??

Keep up the good work....

Love the M5's, E34 was the last ones to have their engines hand built.
