Gulf Spec E39 M5

16 Feb Gulf Spec E39 M5

A few days into into our stay here at the beautiful W hotel we decided to hit the hotel clubs and see what the scene was like. Apparently the W is the home to one of Doha’s best clubs and I can honestly say that the scene is a lot better than expected. With tables and bottles going for quite a bit here in Doha you definitely can expect to walk down to the lobby after a night out and see some of the worlds most exotic and beautiful cars being made today.

Stepping outside into the pandemonium of valet’s scrambling and a thick waiting crowds laughter I see nothing but Audi R8’s, Lamborghini Murcielago’s, 997 Turbo’s, almost every AMG known to man. After about a half hour of speaking with numerous drivers I spot a beautiful E39 M5 which is the first I have seen here in Doha. Speaking with him a bit he shows great interest and really wants to learn more about what he can start modifying right away so he takes our card and we call it a night around 3:30am. The next afternoon we get a call from the E39 M5 owner who now wants to meet with us and discuss more about his car only the night before he hit a curb, blew out a tire, and destroyed a rear ball joint.

Now after speaking with this client for a few hours we eventually closed on a deal with a somewhat extensive mod-list. At the moment we have modified his intake boot setup (smoothing out the airflow once it passes the filter) We opted against a modified after-market filter due to the fact of how much sand there actually is blowing around these streets. Aside from the intake setup we have closed on a pulley setup, tune, and to fix our new friends rear ball joint for him.

Pending mods include full exhaust including modified headers and now even a possible supercharger kit!
