    $20K Canadian works out to what--like $16K USD? I don't know the conversion rate. Those aftermarket rims aren't a value adding "option" as described in the text of the ad either

    i'll let you know if i decide to come down. if i can hang in there for another two years then the 3.8L S38's should start showing up here and there .....just need to find a nice specimen....

    have you ever driven a e39 M5?

    Default Not any more

    $20K Canadian nowadays works out to $18.2K US. I just went home for visit and saw whta the stronger Canadian dollar is worth nowadays compared to 3 years ago when I got $1.60 Cdn for every US dollar. Looks like a good deal anyway.

    Nope, never drove an E39 M5. Hung with one on the streets once though. He walked away on standing starts but couldn't pull me from a roll. What fun.

    if you happen to be in the vicinity of this lot could you take a peak and let me know if it's worthwhile for me to pop down ...if not, no biggy!

    Hmmm. An M5 in an Ogden used car lot - what an odd place for one to turn up. A bit out of my way but if you're serious why not give them a call and see if they'd bring the car to me for a test drive?

    Go Oilers indeed. Just keep the hooligans off Whyte though. Never saw that crap on the Red Mile - just lots of hooters. Mmmmm, hooters.
