It's at $31k with 5 days left... Is this really going to sell for upwards of $40,000?? Come on... doesn't it just start to not make sense? 

Let's pretend the cumulative value of all of the parts swapped over is worth the going rate of a nice, well maintained e39 M5 ($16-17k?). 

So it's at $31,000 (currently), If this thing was a stock 540it M-sport with 105k miles and accident history it would be going for $15k with 5 days left at auction already...

I can''t wait to see someone pay $45,000 for this

ps: sick car tho

@SteelBlue If only you wouldn't have scrapped the m3 shell, check out the going rate of ones with watermelon sized rust holes in the quarters and floor pans in Chicago

If you have that kind of money to spend on a 16 year old car then you have 3 to 5 other cars and this one will be cool to tell your friends about.  You want this, you want it now and you want to drive it right away with minimum time invested.  $17k for the M5 donor on top of 6 months to a year of hours and hours doing the swap yourself.  If you're paying a shop its still a month or so worth of work plus $10k-ish in labor.  Unless its a WIbimmers member then figure a 2-5 year swap... I'm not saying this is some great value if it goes for $45k but it makes sense to the right person.

At the rate of how slow I do things on my car, building something like this would probably take me 25 years

also, I worked out a deal on that e34 M5 and will be picking it up sometime next week!

Will do! Fingers crossed, I'm really hoping I can get it to run so I can daily it this summer! Chances are the motor is damaged though, will be exploring other options... I don't exactly want to take this one off the road for good

Glad it’s getting saved! That’s the only gen M5 I haven’t seen in person still.

I have never understood that either. That and used engine mounts on ebay

Saw an Alpina B6 Gran Coupe in matte white street parked by my building on the way back from class today. Had to explain to everyone why an Alpina was cool and unusual.

Edit: Just realized I put this in the wrong thread. Oh well.

You're not wrong, although I personally think the sixes look pretty good in relation to the rest of the line, as does the M2. Too bad the M2 now has a s55 and sounds like poo.

M6 Gran Coupe is what I would buy if I picked richer parents
