Wonder what the reserve price is...

I'd get it just to learn how to put it back together.

No kidding... I'd spend $50 to learn that for sure!

it would have been better off being all built up at least that way it could be stripped and rebuilt properly instead of getting a box of bits, i wouldn't like to try and rebuild it not knowing what order it came out in

It really isn't if you have the tools and the specs for assembly. Some creative pressing / pulling can be required. Having a lathe to fab up quick tools is pretty useful... I have no idea where one would find the tolerances for an M5 tranny though.

Not to crap on anyone's parade, but you can't rebuild this transmission -- there are no parts available for it, from the factory or the aftermarket. Short of machining whatever needs to be replaced (which could be as simple as a bearing with a ton of other applications), chances are that this will stay as parts.

Dismantling and putting it back together is fairly simple, even without proper tools. It's the replacement of the parts that's difficult.

It's likely that the seller thought it could be fixed and dismantled it, only to decide that it would be cheaper and easier to just buy a new box ($5500 last time I checked).

The price without the reserve is right if you want a bunch of fun gears and parts to play around with, though.

it would be an ideal candidate to sit behind a V12 tho....

Hah, actually, the factory V12 six speed found in 850/850CSi cars has a 140 Nm higher torque rating than the 6 speed found in the E39 M5s. Bellhousing's not interchangeable, though.

$1000? what an idiot...

My dad builds jet engines for a living, and knows car engines/trannys like 5th grade math. When i blew my tranny in my truck we took it apart and rebuilt it, if he wasnt so determined to have it put back together i would have quit the first day. biggest pain in the ass ive ever dealt with, took over a week and i wish i had just bought a used one instead.

From now on... no more fixing transmissions for me.
