Possible new project - ///M model! (Patreon)

Hello good people! Got some exciting news! 

A viewer emailed me recently and offered me to buy his E39 M5. I jumped out of my chair from joy when I saw the model and pictures. As some of you know, this is my favorite model and I've been looking for another one for a long time to restore on the channel.

It's located in Skövde, Sweden and it's very similar to mine. 2001, Facelift finished in Le Mans blue which is my favorite color, over Le Mans blue interior which is my least favorite interior along with Imola red inserts on the seats, but beggars can't be choosers.
But it's a slicktop like mine! No stupid sunroof! Fun fact, only 26% of all E39 M5s came without a sunroof and only in Euro-spec form so they are fairly rare. 

It's been off the road since 2012 which I really like, means it will need some love and I'd take a neglected example over a garage queen any day of the week. Stored indoors, 220.000 km which is nothing for S62 engine, original Swedish car, has service history, 3 keys and supposedly rust-free. The guy seems really nice, has a growing family so the car was put on the back-burner as it should.
The plan would be to refresh this beauty fully and do things I did to mine before I started YouTubing, thorough service of the engine, complete suspension, headlights, rims... 

I'm happy paying his asking price and just trying to figure out when I can go to see it cause I really want to make another car buying road trip video, I love making those. It's still quite cold in Sweden and with Covid restrictions might be difficult, but there are direct flights from Frankfurt so we are thinking in 1-2 months' time it should be doable. 

This also means I'll have to sell one of the current cars in order to fully finance this project, probably project Marseille, E31 850i after I get it running. I'm hoping for that not to happen since I want to go all the way with that project, but if I have to choose it's the M5, that said let's see what happens in the upcoming months. 

In other news, there should be a new video this week on project Raleigh, E60 M5. I'm also in talks with Falken tires to get them as one of the sponsors on the channel and provide rubber for projects which would be awesome. 

Stay frosty!
