Congrats BigD! Huge! Hard to put into words isn't it?...assembling all the pieces and then creating a masterpiece. When you get a chance we would all love to hear about how it went back together...how it drives now compared to before...any mods done to the motor when apart etc.
Great going...a challenge to rebuild a motor so complex.

bahnstormer: I'm a web/database programmer so I'm hardly ignorant (incidentally yes all our sites are designed for the lowest common denominator, being 800x600). But these are my private photos and if you can't view them, I can't say I give a ****. Upgrade your explorer which will resize it automatically to fit your screen.
Jeff: a pair of TURBOS!!! Nah, just ellipsoids. My mechanic hasn't installed them yet because he's waiting on the clips.
George: my mechanic says it idles better than any S38 he's ever seen, including when basically brand new. The flywheel rattles a bit because he says when they get that light they're basically impossible to balance perfectly. It's so rev happy. Downshifting is just a pleasure! You breathe on the pedal and the needle goes. I obviously haven't pushed it yet but I will let you know what it feels like when it's ready for it. Once it's broken in it is going on a dyno and getting a proper fuel map. The COMPLETE story of the rebuild is here:

Congratulations Dmitry!!!
I know you are thrilled, to say the least, to have your M5 back. Good things come to those that wait, and wait and wait...=) It's a lot of time and money, but some things are worth it.
Enjoy the new ride, she looks absoulutely gorgeous. Keep your damn foot out of it until you get her broke in too!!! =)
Again, congratulations Dmitry!

Nice write up Dmitry.. I really enjoyed the story, glad to see that you got it back
together ok, seems a shame to pull the recaro's though...but i can't blame you, I'd hang onto them though in case you ever want to sell the car...

Great story Dimtry!...really enjoyed it. Couple of questions...is your E-28 winter car Bruno's old car?...if so, I have been in it...why didn't you take it to driving school? :-)
Took brass balls to bluff that cop...I'm never gonna play poker with ya...hehe.
Lastly, you mentioned installing M-parallel's...your pics show Throwing Stars....what's the scoop there?
Congrats Dimtry on getting your pride and joy back on the road....bet the car is amazing.

another thing comes to mind.... a fancy house is nice, but afterall, they are only to live in. :-) The recent three M posts...yourself, Jason and Matt and of course the response that Jr's beautiful M5 evokes...really captures the passion of the car hobby. The only other place a man will throw so much money at something...is the other thing he loves...his women. Dmitry just want to say...man..."we understand." Someone once wrote...you can always tell what a man loves...that is where he spends his time....and I would add..where he spends his money too...hehe.
