All Good Things Must Come to an End
The time has come. Parts of Daisy have already been taken out of the car and placed for sale. To date, only parts that have ready replacement have been removed. This includes the M5 seats, PSS coilovers, Tecnomagnesio magnesium rims and Jim Conforti cold air intake. The PSS coilovers have been sold. Many enquiries were received regarding the M5 seats but transportation problem is proving to be a hindrance. Honestly, I don't understand how someone can give these M5 seats a miss just because of transportation issues. I had them shipped all the way from Germany, that's probably a bigger transportation issue. Nevertheless, I can understand the buyers' concern but we are not talking about any ordinary stuff here, it is a complete set of E39 M5 seats. I am quite sure nobody else is going to sell a set of M5 seats again unless he is as crazy as I am to have imported it in the first place. Same goes for the Tecnomagnesio magnesium rims. These are fantastic rims which will never be placed for sale in the market because I am probably the only person who has it on this side of the world. Sure, you can buy a set of new rims for the price I am asking for but you are not going to get magnesium and for sure, they are not specifically designed for the E39. For the same amount of money, you are going to end up buying some low quality replicas that weighs a ton and probably not even close to the strength of the Tecnomagnesio. I don't understand why people can be penny wise and pound foolish. These are high-end quality stuff that commands a special price.By next week, the transformation on Daisy will be almost complete. By mid-April 2010, she will be ready for her next phase of life. Emotions are mixed. Its hard to let go of something that has been such a big part of my life. But, life has to go on. We will move forward by moving backwards. Such is the life we are born to live.
