Saw 2010 760 v12 twin turbo the other day in the garage at a dealers yard. Dealer reckoned it was worth about $50k.

Is it the one currently on trademe? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1049175747.htm Been looking at that, seems a very special car - then thought for the same money I could get the one we did for the wife and the Silver 540 manual thats on there. They'll never be M5s but probably be more practical for us and more likely to get driven. Unfortunately I dont think I have the funds to do an M5 justice on an ongoing basis unless I garaged it and took it out only for WOFs and shows. . . . . and I think you are right - we did some research while thinking on your car and I think that is the cheapest we are ever going to see an E39 M5 in roadworthy condition anywhere in the world. Good luck with the sale

. . . . and has a Bangle Butt? . . . . Oh yeah forgot to say its an NZ car. Thanks for the welcome

Hi everyone, Thought we'd join up here since we now have a couple of e39s. We love these cars. We think that they are the best looking BMWs ever and that Chris Bangle is the prince of darkness We got into these cars a couple of years ago after buying a white 1997 520i for no other reason than it was cheap and looked nice. Didn't even need it - already had 4 vehicles. Fast forward to today and we have just added a metallic black 2003 530i Msport to the fleet for the wife. We knew what we were after it just took some time for the right car to come up. 130,000km, leather, full documented service history and not least of all - NO sunroof!! We now have 6 vehicles and tempted to add a 540i manual 6 speed to the fleet. Would keep the 520i though as a runabout and garage the others to keep km down - maybe take em out on nice days. Look forward to learning from and maybe meeting some of you Sandy
