The interior is awesome, but he went overboard on the exterior. I think the standard M6 (E24) is gorgeous.
P.S. I was also expecting V10

i wouldnt buy it if it had a v12 ferrari engine at $250k. the interior is awesome and looks factory. the engine should have come from a newer model. 315hp is nothing by today's standard.

Does this exists!? E45

Isn't it E34 M5 3.6 litre - 232 kW (315 PS; 311 bhp)?

Nevertheless, great job! Beautiful car!

Stunning car, almost perfect if it wasn't for that rear end. It's priced perfectly, probably just where I would price it if I wanted to keep it.

Gorgeous interior, but I'm not feeling the wheels. I'm never a fan of newer model wheels on an older car. Should have kept the OEM wheels, or gone with some old-school BBS.

My dad had a red 635csi, so this is very appealing in certain aspects (beautiful interior, period correct engine swap etc) but the rear end (no need for the center exhaust outlet anymore) make my blood boil.

the rims, clear tails and silver colour make it look a bit ricey as well.

Cool idea, bad final product...
