So dig into those shape design on old bimmers !

Kwando · 02-14-2015, 02:27 PM

They could have at least used a wood steering wheel. Not feeling it.

Das Johnson · 02-14-2015, 02:32 PM

Would buy it instantly if it were for sale.

Pretty sure it for sale, but for over $200k... http://www.mko-v8.de/fahrzeugmarkt.html

Great way to ruin 2 bmw's legends.
THIS is how a E9 SHOULD look. (Mine at the top of the n135 in spain one of the best roads in spain)

MDIVISION · 02-14-2015, 03:21 PM

Now thats a dope ride

GuyOh · 02-14-2015, 03:33 PM

I like everything except for the front dash part of the interior, looks out of place

F80NJM3 · 02-14-2015, 03:55 PM

Speechless.

EzequielR · 02-14-2015, 04:21 PM

Pure beauty!

mPlasticDesign · 02-14-2015, 04:24 PM

Resto-Mod heaven! Would love to have in my garage!!!

noro · 02-14-2015, 05:17 PM

Ok.. I'll be the 1st.. whatta waste of time. This ain't an E9.. never will be. If you are going to put in this much effort why not restore a true E9.. and not bastardize an E39 while you're at it.

I'm with you. That "shell" of an ///M5 is what made me first fall in love with BMW.

Sort of blasphemy to see it compromised with modern crap. If you want to drive a classic, to take all of the compromises that come with it. That's what makes it so classic!

BPMSport · 02-14-2015, 05:25 PM

Love it!

Exactly! This should be cool but man, I really don't approve.

Vigilant · 02-14-2015, 06:41 PM

A polarizing build...some forum members like myself did not have the privilege of owning or driving either vehicle. Regardless of my personal taste, I applaud the folks for taking a leap and putting in many hours to see a project like this to the end.

AWM3ME2 · 02-14-2015, 06:59 PM

Awesome build!

Ray knight · 02-14-2015, 08:04 PM

I think that may be the best looking car i've ever seen!! Love it.

Fuman · 02-14-2015, 08:19 PM

No doubt there's many opinions due to personal preference but I understand the passion behind the person who did this awesome flawless build.

Two thumbs up!

tyler9595 · 02-14-2015, 08:25 PM

Love it...super classy. One of the all-time great bodies.

I might have skipped the website on the deck lid.

rbarker33 · 02-14-2015, 10:18 PM

Love the concept and thought behind it. Wish the interior dash had more time into it - looks like they cheaped out a bit.

I don't see the problem with this, people do it all the time to mustangs and Chevys. I like the concept.... Reliable modern car with antique body.

I didn't see the story behind the cars,. But if the E9 had been gutted and the chassis bent up. I see no problem. If the car was perfect and numbers matching. I would cringe a bit.
