Doesn't get any better than that.

TheBingoBalls · 08-30-2016, 05:11 PM

That is amazing.

raysspl · 08-30-2016, 05:59 PM

Very inspiring resto

MSULLY · 08-30-2016, 09:52 PM

Only BMW I would trade my M2 for. Love this car

SabineBimmer · 08-30-2016, 10:27 PM

How many angles do we need showing the guy blowing dust off his fingers? I get it BMW, you're stylish and one hep cat. Ugh...

MSCD · 08-30-2016, 10:54 PM

Great video... The chemical bath striped the paint on the trolley too! Great to see the old school metal working bring done!

They should've painted the car red like how Elvis used to drive it.

After watching this video, I have what is probably a stupid question. Is this a restoration or is this creating a copy of Elvis' car using his car as a template. It doesn't appear that anything from the original car is used but instead everything is re-fabricated. Was there any part of the original car reused? Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful, I just wonder how much can you fabricate before it's no longer the same car?

Did you see the red paint left in the door jams?
To signify Elvis' paint choice?

He owned two of these cars. This car was restored to its original glory for a reason. This was the plan all along by the man who found and kept the car for so many years. Elvis would love it... So be it!

Original if usable is best of course. But it was worthy of restoration. The serial numbers ensure it remains the same car. Serial #=$

Found this on reddit, awesome vid.

alfred1976 · 09-03-2016, 03:01 PM

Now the question is how much will it sell for???

08njSTEP · 09-03-2016, 03:26 PM

I would think this is a permanent inhabitant of BMW collection.

Dackelone · 09-04-2016, 04:01 PM

I had not seen this before... obviously this video was produced by BMW AG. Still its a pretty cool video!
