eBay M5 - 31630 miles!

[pmlmotorsports]

23,600 give or take, I guess it all depends on the amount of competition, and the reserve. Sometimes these meticulous owners think their car is worth $5,000 over book. Whatever it goes for, somebody is gonna be happy as a pig in sh_t

Maybe I'll ask the wife to go get a job and I can go buy this....that would fly over like lead balloon.

A beautiful and very rare car. Just goes to show they are out there. A guy by the name of ///M Blitz owns several low mileage M cars...has an amazing collection including a very rare Dinan prepped 750iL E-32 that he personally picked up in Germany. He also has a Z8...what a car.
On this example, one has to wonder if the seals are dry on a 14 year old car with such limited use.
Trying not to bid...but I am watching it...hehe.

Aww, com'on George, bid, bid, bid!.....Sure would like to see you driving up for the E34 picnic in that thing!

How's the search going? Any ideas yet? For some reason, I sure like the 330i convertibles...not real fond of the '05 E90.

Good to see you around!

...Upon closer inspection of the pics:

Notice how the vinyl on the one rear door panel is coming unglued? Perhaps that's the reason why this picture was included, but I agree with Bahn and others on this one: I'd be worried that, given the characteristics of the limited use it received, there would be some issues to consider if the car were to be driven a couple of times a week.

While I agree that there are people out there who will pay anything for this car, I believe any reasonable buyer would consider it this way: This is a 14 year old car and the $25k+ is only a few thou away from a newer e39 M5. Without getting into the merits of one model versus the other, I think most reasonable buyers (read: NOT collectors/serious enthusiasts) would rather buy the latter for this kind of money. Hence I think it'll make the reserve if it's around $20k and then a few people will duke it out a bit and be done with it. Hopefully, the seller doesn't get a deadbeat...

....thou in difference with the E39. They are still holding their value well.

But if you look at it as ~$25k for a beast like that, orrrrrrrr......~$25k for a brand spankin' new loaded Toyota Camry. Now THERE'S a choice, huh?

I wonder how a car like that would do on the Barrett-Jackson auction block? The Palm Beach Edition is coming up the 1st weekend in April and I hope to go and salivate a lot. They do hit the sellers up with a pretty good "Seller's Premium" so maybe it wouldn't be worth the effort. Still.....there are always tons of '60s and '70s muscle cars, and if that baby isn't in that catagory, I don't know what the requirements could be! I guess you'd call it a "Future Muscle Car". A Bee-youuu-teeeee!

he didnt say short commutes he said quick.....Its been stored in a heated garage.......you can change the wheel covers to t stars........It will prolly be the lowest mileage e 34 m5 available wouldnt it....surely if you want an e 34M5 this would have to be the one......pity it aint black on black and rhd

Hi Jr,
If I get another Bimmer...don't know what else I would get for another car...will likely be an E-46 coupe 5-speed...a couple years old and low miles. Engine not a big deal...maybe a 325 or 328. Can get a pretty good deal on one....for maybe the same cabbage as that M5 will go for. Of course it won't have the cache either Not looking real hard...may get the bug in the spring. Snowed again in Michigan today. Hope all is well.

Been playin' with other gears lately...made by Campagnolo...trying some of that Italian stuff:

[Jr ///M5]

What's that bike weigh? 'bout 9 oz.? You need to lower it....=)

That is one fuel conservative machine! Bikes have come a LONG way in the past 10 years. I'm wondering when they will come up with a superlite variable belt drive? Now that would be smooth!

You know the kind of bike I have a love affair for....so I'll expect you to talk some sense into me come summer when the "fever" hits...

Take care my friend,
Jr
