True, but when they were offered, the M5 was a $75000 vehicle. There is a reason Dinan stopped making them... I bet they didn't sell many even during the e39's hay day.

But, again, not to take away from this guy's work. It's incredible, and if he can find a few people willing to pay that... great. I'm willing to bet this was a thing he wanted for himself, and if others ask... he came up with a price that would make it worth his while for the trouble. Although he did make a jig, so maybe he did intend to sell. Who knows. At any rate, it's a cool set of parts and he got his desired result. My hat's certainly off to him.
