This was my most enjoyable detail yet. 1991 BMW M5 w/ 60k miles. The only other person to touch this car is its owner, who is a very hands on, meticulous guy who demands perfection. I was told to take as much time as needed to get it perfect. Its spent plenty of time at the track and at one point or another was a daily driver. After spending a lot of time with this car I found it hard to believe its 16+ years old. Just in moving the car around the driveway and in an out of the garage I found the engine sounded incredible and throttle response was very crisp. Truly a timeless machine.



2 days and 18+ hours later she was finished.

Thanks guys. I was happy with the result, I think P21s 100% really made a difference in the "glow factor", even over z2
 
Really amazing work! I was all set to buy one of those back in the day.. couldn't get over those wheels making it look like the car had white walls.. But the car drove awesome!! I now wish I purchased it! Great job!!!
 
you do amazing work man. i gotta get me one of those magic erase bars from mr. clean or w/e.



where'd u get that black wow stuff at? i have pretty good luck with black again
 
Wow, fantastic job man! I love older M's. The most impressive part of your detail is the interior. That light gray looks better than new! :2thumbs:

didnt have the makita yet for this one but I used it for the first time on a black

audi yesterday and it was amazing
 
The BMW e34 M5 is probably one of the best BMW's ever made. It was the last m5 that was fully hand build and tuned. It is a very desirable car. You did an amazing job. Good Work!

Thanks Todd. Btw I'm loving the P21s 100%, I think it made this M5 really glow, it was over Z2pro but I tried it over RMG yesterday on dark metallic blue and it looked super wet. Thanks for the recomendation a while back:up
