One has to admire how good detailing shops are at making signs of age go away on even the oldest and most rundown cars. For today, our example will be this E39 BMW 5-Series brought back to factory condition by Aidan Templin.
The expert spent around 40 hours restoring the 22-year-old vehicle, but in the end, it looked like something you could get away with passing of as new. Making matters even more interesting is the fact that the sedan has 587,410 kilometers (365,000 miles) behind it – few BMW powertrains ever survive this long.
Freshening up the image further are shiny new 17-inch BBS RC090 wheels and a slightly lowered suspension. We are not aware of any other major modifications to this 5-Series.
