(It was idling poorly and the dealer had been charging him BigBucks for maintenance, so he threw in the towel to stop the financial hemorage, and he was not a car guy anyhow. Turns out it had a leaky vacuum tube on the FPR and needed new O-rings on the dipstick, + tighten the intake boots. ~$6.58 to fix.)
Anyhow, I asked about the color because I have a question or two, Brian:
What do you use for wax/polish? My car color is a bit listless until wet. Then the sterling silver color really shines through, and it's absolutely gorgeous. Should I try wet-look wax, or what?
Interior grey leather is in great shape, but has some scuffs/scratches through the color. Found a good source of color touch-up for your grey leather? Thanks!

Jr, how many miles are on the ///M5?
If that car was in an accident and repaired, as the thread suggests, its one hell of a good job. Either way yours is the ultimate E34

Last year about this time......remember guys???
This is what a deer will do to your car when you're traveling 65mph and it decides to jump in the middle of your hood!
My local BMW bodyshop had it about 2 1/2 months. Since it was an M5, they were meticulous about everything on it. They really did do a nice job, of course they would run for cover when they seen me coming to check on it just about every day since they were close to my office...=)
She just ticked over 101,658 miles.......

Hello everyone,
Wow, that is great. Congratulations on your awards. I know that your car deserves it. I cannot wait to see it again at this year's Midwest e34 Summer Meet on August 7th!

The truly freaky thing in looking at that picture--
--was how ridiculously CLEAN the car was BEFORE it played the part of the deerslayer.
My new toy's got all of 760 miles on it, and it's not that clean! Well, maybe the black just doesn't show it as well as the silver......

Wow, i'm just amazed that at how LITTLE damage was done. 65mph + deer usually equates to about half of the front of a car gone. There we see another prime example of how WELL these cars are designed and built. Not to mention how stunningly beautiful they are!
*dreams* and its even the same color of silver as mine....
