I feel you. I almost got into the same situation with my beloved 1997 E39 with M52 engine. It's been sitting in my garage for 3 years, with what started as a simple project to replace a leaking thermostat housing but got morphed into this and that to-do list. I just finished replacing the valve stem seals and then found the timing chain guides were all in pieces, which explains the strange rattling noise from the engine that I'd been hunting for years! Got the chain, guides and tools. Time to finish up is elusive but I'm determined to get to the finish line ...
