Happy 14th Birthday to my ///M5!!!

[Jr ///M5]

Legend has it, as the beasts were finished being built by hand, the leader of a team of 7 techs, signed the car and dated it in typical German fashion. I was lucky enough to find the signature hiding under the rear bumper rub strip. Tomorrow, marks the 14th year since this ///M5 was built by hand, piece by piece...

Last of the true handbuilts.....



Enjoy,
Jr

I just can't get over how amazing she looks. Happy birthday! Every time I need to show someone a beautiful M5 (or an e34 in general) I show them pics of this car. You're a lucky guy, Jr

your photography skills make the car look as though it isn't real. If I hadn'e seen it in person I would doubt this is a real car...

Beautiful

....in "people year" terms, 1 BMW year should equal about 3-4 people years. If you figure that a person is....ahem....hopefully rather well seasoned, experienced, and at a prime spot in their chronological development if they are about 45 or so, then a car that has lasted in today's world to the ripe old age of 14 is certainly a survivor at the very least. And a car that has become a coveted example of it's model certainly should be ranked up there with the "hotties" of the human type too.

Demi Moore, Teri Hatcher, Kim Cattrall, Pierce Brosnan, Denzel Washington, Patrick Swayze....all are well into their 40's and are still considered prime eye-candy by most star-watchers. If Stutz Bearcats and Dusenbergs and the like can make their way up the auction blocks of today and command ridiculous cash for the privilege of their ownership, then I can certainly imagine that M5 of yours getting top dollar in a decade or two also.

Happy Birthday! And stay just the way you are!!

OK....I'm sorry about the Patrick Swayze thing. He was the only Himbo that I could come up with fast to finish my thought!

You really should trade me even up for my e28.

You better watch it, if I was that tech and I found this pick on the net in such amazing condition I would fight to the end to get this car. Your car is amazing in so many ways, it must be great to have people gloating about your car in so many ways, im jealous.

When I saw the name, Teri Hatcher....the rest was just a blur.

Happy birthday.
