What kind of project are you looking to do? Track car?

When it comes to the e39, i am a purist at heart. Maybe some springs and spacers to improve stance and better looking muffler tips+ xpipe for sound.

Thats it.
Project may have been the wrong word haha

Better off saying, I'd be interested in buying a decent mileage M5 (under 175mi) that is salvaged or could use some work. I could always resell it if I bought a bud, I could flip it, or I could ultimately keep it as my new baby.

Reason I'd like an e39 is because of the low price (just got the AMG, close to broke), iconic looks, & "M5". Even though I know the e46 M3 far better mechanically & interior wise..
