2003 BMW E39 'M5' Touring by Gabriel McClintock

Gabriel McClintock crafted a unique 2003 BMW E39 'M5' Touring, a variant never offered in the US, by meticulously converting a standard E39 wagon with components from a rusted M5 donor car. This detailed build includes a supercharged S62 engine with a manual transmission, installed alongside several other features to make the car as close to a factory M5 Touring as possible. Gabriel's project held true to the M5's identity, integrating the M5's drivetrain, suspension, and interior into the wagon chassis. The transformation even extended to the exterior, fitted with M5 bumpers and trim. Key modifications in this ambitious project include an RK Autowerks Stage 1 supercharger kit, methanol injection, and an Eisenmann race muffler exhaust system. The suspension comprises Dinan, KONI, and Ground Control components, while stopping power is provided by a Dinan by Brembo big brake kit. Original M5 Style 65 wheels have been refinished, maintaining authenticity. The car also features a full dark grey wrap, Euro headlight lenses, and various carbon fiber elements, encapsulating an extensive and successful tribute to a US-spec M5 Touring.
