Funny update on this car, it was supposed to have the interior touched up on Saturday, I dropped the car off around noon on friday... asking price 6995, it was sold by 3pm for 7025 out the door

Great detail work, but I feel bad for the new owners since they probably think they purchased a "cream puff". I bet the car is a mechanical wreck too.

Actually, it drove like it had 75k on it, I put about 30 miles on it and I am pretty aggressive especially with a manual, It was really a good buy because of the way it turned out and the fact that it ran great. It was a one owner who took care of everything except the cosmetics of the car, and it had all the service records, it was traded in on a 04 530 6speed with 17K on it

SUPER JOB CLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm working on a similar appearance black 330 convertible that the previous owner really neglected. The trunk lid and rear quarter have been re-painted and not finished out by the paint shop. I think I spent approx. 1 hours on a small'ish 3 Series trunk lid (but it's superb now).

The dealer doesn't want me to post any "before's", so I'll shoot some "after's" and let the forum members use their imagination...it was as nasty as what you just posted.

Nice, nice work Sir!

Toto

I believe it, E39's hold up very well. If the bushings/shocks and other wear and tear parts have been taken care of then it should drive just dandy. Probably sold quickly due to the fact it was a 5-spd and 5-series manual's aren't always easy to come by.

Beautiful detail on that car. It's nice to see a vehicle with that kind of mileage detailed to look like new.

Great job, do you ever wonder what these peoples homes look like, if they trash the car this way??!!

No. Even though they are perfectly capable of cleaning thier own home they probably have someone come in and clean once a week.
