You do know that these tracks are directional I hope....
There should be a direction of rotation arrow cast in the edge of the track.

Wow incredible work, I have always wanted a M5, maybe someday I will track one down, but to many toys to do at the moment.

The grass always isn't greener on the other side, yours is probably easier and cheaper in the long run to restore, but when it gets to the states, if you ever want to come down and drive it, you are invited...
