Frankenstein is back!

After an entire new rear end ( diff, diff lock motor, diff module, entire new rear suspension and even new rear tires) the car is back! They replaced and kept updating modules and I still have the edition 1 software! But it is still a great looking and wonderful driving car.
whoever will get this at the auction in a few months will get a brand new rear end and a beautiful car overall!

I built another E63s for April delivery and should be receiving the new M5 in 2 weeks. That way I can alternate when they go to the dealer for weekly windows updates

Lol hopefully no more updates. I really can't wait to hear your opinion on the M vs E.
I need to go find a E63 to drive but kinda hard to do when I'm in Africa much nowadays. I'll.live vicariously through you and others reveiews till I'm actually around more to go drive and buy one!
