New e39 m5 gets the garage, e34 535 for sale... sniff...

[Robin-535im]

Anyone looking for a really well tuned 1990 535im? There's a really nice one on autotrader.

After coming to grips with the fact that I don't have time to do all the engine mods I wanted to do, I pulled the trigger on a 2001 e39 M5. Soooo... now my dear dear 535 needs a new home.

BTW - Many differences between the two cars as you would expect. Horsepower being the biggest difference, but the e39 is more like the e34 was before all the suspension upgrades. Softer ride, not as tossable, but really a beast when you push the go pedal down. In contrast, the e34 is so tight the nose stays flat no matter what you do, brake, turn, accelerate, etc. I'll miss the old girl, especially when I need to crack into that V8 to do some maintenance, I'm sure I'll be longing for the simplicity and durability of the M30.
