Swapped my chassis cross brace with the slightly cleaner one from my departed Bostongrun 328i.
Quick (after work) job yesterday of scraping, and wire wheel on the jack points. Got all the...

I'd like to own an E39 manual, preferably with the V8.
Wouldn't be a long term car, but I'd like to see what all the hype is about!

Ooo nice!
Parts car projects are one of my favourites.
