I was going to buy it but settled for an e39 M5.

I also contemplated buying it at the time as well - looking back now it was a great way, and price, to experience an E34 M5!

Good to know that it is still around and lives on!

What about the NZ New ultra-violet one (possibly in the pics in this thread - apologies if it is, I haven't fully re-read thread) that came up for sale through Turners a couple of years ago? Where did that one end up?

Personally would love to own an E34 and E39 M5. But unfortunately for me, it seems that prices are steadily climbing... I shulda, wulda, culda ? . Happy with the E36 M3 sedan though ?

Yeah always a good thing when they live on in another chassis instead of gutted for organs like what happened to Jocks old car. I made the guy pay for that privilege of buying that one haha.

So possibly 2-3 nz new 3.6 M5’s ( and lots of imports), 3 with 3.8’s, and no doubt the odd import too.

However, why so rare? 

Was this due to the effects of the share market crash in 87?’

I suspect too that BMW weren’t as good with their marketing back then for their M5’s. A lot of people didn’t really know what a M5 entailed. 

A far cry from the success Bmw had with subsequent  versions of the M5. 

 

whatever the resaon and i think you are right i that in 87 we had the big crash,a 199 000 car was low in priority,and it was the reason we got the 535"is" instead IMHO

@Olaf I couldn't help myself. Its a case of 'doing it again' - the clubhouse remix that is ?

Look forward to the coffee and cars catch up next week...

I owned a NZ new 3.6 RM1762 in Macau Blue. Brilliant car that had 245kms on it when i sold it in 09 and it ran superbly. Think it is still in Auckland.

GA25291 was my machine for 8 or so years Peter. I see it has a new plate these days but i'll bet it is still going strong.

I wonder if the purple one SD5150 was the one that lived on my old road in Alfriston.  Cool cars and would possibly rate over the E39 IMO.
