nice job once again. man that thing is nice. dont see many of those around.

 

gotta love those 2nd gen M5's ... great job Phil and the crew!!!

I'm digging the smiley headlights too!!!

 

They are rare indeed ...

I was lucky enough to see an euro M5 touring on the road in Cincy a few years ago.

 

thanks guys...

gdal was it a blue one or a purple one...I almost bought a purple one..

 

Phil ... it was actually a silver one and if I'm not mistaken it had the leather/cloth combo.

 

I see. cool

 

Awesome job DD team as always simply amazing work

 

Phil ... it was either white or silver (a light color). The guy that owned it runs a bmw specialty shop in Cincy and always has nice and rare bimmers. I went to check out a M3 4-door dakar yellow that I wanted to buy.

 

stunning work on this beautiful classic M5!

 

Looking Great!
