RHD PNZR

If anyone wants to know more about the overall ownership of a 20 year old RHD BMW here is a link to all the stuff I have done to the car: https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showt...5-Rhd-pnzr

recent update on the RHD PNZR, I have sourced a full parts car from a person local to DC for the m5 conversion and Bimmer Performance Mag is waiting on me to complete the swap to start running the articles so it appears in consecutive issues. Now I only need to convince my parents to store the car in their garage so I can rip out the 300hp auto slush box, and reinstall the 400hp s62 6speed, LSD and all other m5 components. When I go to reinstall the m5 axels I am going to drop the rear subframe and replace the bushings too. IDK what kind of bushings (solid or OEM) I want to run, but that will be a decision at a future time. I will keep everyone in the loop here to as how the swap goes (undocumented as far as I can find for a RHD 540it, there is only 2 other s62-swapped RHD 540it on earth, should be fun, if not potentially very difficult)

You're in Nova right? Let me know if you need a hand. I'm like 8 miles from DC.

Quick update, I have sourced a full 540/6 parts car, the manual swap will be completed this summer.  Running perfect since I pulled it out of the garage a couple weeks ago.  Ran out the other day during lunch to grab some photos of the car, here is the best one:

In other news the Panzer has been in Bimmer Performance Mag, with more articles to come to cover the build process.  Pulled the Panzer out of storage a couple weeks ago, finally got around to washing it, not a full detail, but now there is no sawdust on the car.  236k miles looks good on her, wish the picture reformat didn't kill the quality of the photo.  Big moves happening this summer, will detail work later when its complete
