In a thrilling automotive escapade, M539 Restorations sets out to breathe life back into a dormant BMW E31 850i with a rare six-speed manual gearbox, nestled in the sun-soaked deserts of Phoenix, Arizona. The team, led by the intrepid host, is on a tight deadline as they aim to resurrect the sleeping beauty before jetting off to Hawaii. The challenge? Revive the beast within a mere two days, a race against time that adds an extra layer of excitement to this already adrenaline-fueled mission.

With the clock ticking, the restoration experts dive headfirst into diagnosing the car's issues, pinpointing a troublesome general module as the culprit behind the battery drain conundrum. Teaming up with Beemer World, they embark on a parts-sourcing odyssey to gather all the necessary components for the E31's revival. The meticulous process unfolds as batteries are swapped, fuel systems are checked, and essential fluids are replenished, each step bringing the once-silent 850i closer to its long-awaited roar.

As the sun sets over the Arizona horizon, the moment of truth approaches. The team's efforts culminate in a symphony of mechanical symphonies as the BMW's engine roars to life after a decade-long slumber. With fresh fuel coursing through its veins and revitalized systems at play, the E31 stands as a testament to the team's unwavering dedication and expertise. The stage is set for a triumphant return to the open road, a phoenix rising from the ashes of neglect to reclaim its former glory.
