XTC, is that salvage titled or clean? I was going to buy a salvaged titled silver '99 E39 M3 just like that with very similar front body damage for $13,000, but decided against it. Good luck with the project though, those cars make fun toys

Sorry, this was about six months ago and I believe I was first on a wait list for it. It's probably done and on the road by now. Did you need it for a parts car? Cause you can always apply for CoPart auctions if you're a dealer. It's the cheapest way to restore cars, find the same E39 with rear collision damage, take what you need, and sell the left overs back.

Did you get it at an auction?

Looks like when it's done we will see you here less often. Turning to the dark side are we?

I don't think there is such a thing as an E39 M3. I think E39 is 5 series isn't it? The one like XTC bought is an E36, and the new style ones are E46? Anyone know anything about Bimmers on here?

Oops, I meant E36, but I think there is an E39. The newest 5-series is the E56 or something?
