    Noooooooo, that's crazy, after you got that much work into it?
    Why not just trade it for m5 at this point, you going to make a fake m5 out of 530, and at the end it will never be an m5
    ...only if you putting s62 into your touring, that's a different story

    Seriously, for anyone who wants drivetrain parts, let me know as I will be selling as soon as Adam locates a low mileage S62/6speed. I will eventually be selling the engine, trans, diff and driveshaft.

    Hey Blacknight - what specific bulbs did you use for the backlighting?
    They are smd LEDs. I get them from LighthouseLEDs.com. they aren't a simple plug in and go though. Need to desolder and solder surface mount tiny components. Also, it's very easy to damage the stepper motors while disassembling the cluster, so not for everyone. I do this with proper tools.

    It's a shame you couldn't have found a low mileage E38 with a blown motor or something like that. Would have cost you less and you wouldn't be tearing into a pristine car either.

    Oh well, to the Gods of Modding, we salute you.

    Went through my thread again the other night and really, it wasn't all that much work. Most of it was getting the m5 steering box to work (which it still doesn't really work right), hood modification, oil filter housing mount and driver side airbox. The rest is pretty much the same as any S62 swap.

    My 530i might not have a WBS VIN, but everything else will be M5. I think it's funny that everyone is ok with making a M5T, but not a sedan M5. My "M5" will have a fully refreshed suspension with Koni M5 struts and springs, Eibach 28mm/18mm sway bars, M5 interior, traction bars, LSD, axles, driveshaft, engine, transmission, M5 brakes, and relocated abs precharge pump right off the bat. Bumpers and rear spoiler later. Oh, and the steering wheel will be a rewrapped one with tricolor stitching.

    Now, tell me how it won't be a M5 other than the VIN?

    Oh, and the engine only has 58k miles on it. I couldn't find any M5 with that low of miles in the condition my car is in for what I'm going to have in it.

    Also, everything from the 530i is going into the wagon, so it's getting an upgrade as well.

    Selling a good low mileage motor is going to be a good return.

    You know he's gonna make up his mind, and then flip flop like a bazillion times. There'll be a for sale thread on this car in 6 months.
