Reply With Quote10 grand for an M5 with only 65k miles?
I'd drive down there and buy it if it were legit. Probably totaled and rebuilt in the Dominican Republic.
Wonder how straight the frame is...

Okay, I could pick it to pieces as well.
Hood not lined up. The front subframe looks too new. It's all bent up underneath. Trim pushpins not there, wiring loom is not stock, missing all the little caps on brake caliper pins, etc.etc.etc.
But it does look flashy.

The Weaver's are good guys, IMHO. If you ask them, I'm sure they'll tell you what they know about it's history. If this is the car I think it is- it was sitting in a guy's garage for a while, until he died, then a neighbor of Weaver's bought it and started putting it back in shape- but he lost interest and the Weaver's bought it from him.
The 2nd guy bought some black interior bits from me for the car, and Weaver bought the tubular front subframe from me for it.
I have not seen the car in person.

Okay guys, I get the point. It's a piece. Let's move on.
I obviously don't have an M5, and don't visit the m5board, so I would have no idea of its history.Originally Posted by Anthony (M5 in Calgary)
