At the start of the year I picked a car that has been on my bucket-list for a long time
2001 M5 that was advertised on CL.
I drove it and it ran really well however needed so much work that I thanked the owner and said that I would pass on it.
He said if he could take the huge speaker box and amp out of the trunk he would sell it for $7,000. I tried to walk away but my legs wouldn’t let me.
180,000 miles
The plan for the car -
I would like to drive it and track it - it is too far gone to try and make it original and I want to make my own creation. Also weight loss plan. Would like to get it around 3,500lbs or less.
The thing is a beast and is so fun to rip around in.
The day I bought it - crusty peeling off vinyl on the roof - and almost a cheeky vanity plate.
Back tires
one muffler from each side and resonator had been removed lol - it's pretty loud
Extras! including a vape pen! - Oh and the car reeks of air freshener and pina colada vape.
interior shot
getting cleaned up
Stripping stuff out
new tires 275/35 squared (VMR wheels 18 x 9.5)
Did a bunch of preventative maintenance, love these throttle bodies!
solid brake lines, complete brake overhaul
made a custom spitter out of a universal ABS one -
Did a ECU flash
Just found a 6lbs carbon trunk that I really want - so not rational but cool
I'm going to pull out all of the audio stuff head unit nav factory amp, ect. and just put in a bluetooth amplifier.
more to come.
