Greg111 13 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 I think that might be due to the price tag, i know it's an M5 an all but it's also getting on in the age department. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cainchapman 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 I think those comments could have been made about the E30 M3 in the past too. And good ones are now worth their weight in gold. I think the rarity of the Original M5 will help these retain their value if looked after. I'm not saying they are equivalent to an E30 M3 either. Each generation of M cars has watered down the rarity of them (due to their popularity). Just spotted it. Someone might want it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mops 4 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 yes, a great car, but i think the price is a tad high. it's an old classic that requires constant attention... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cainchapman 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2008 yes, a great car, but i think the price is a tad high. it's an old classic that requires constant attention... So do E30 M3's and they are commanding more than $50k. I wouldn't expect an E28 M5 in great condition (which that one is) to get any lower in value.

maffoo 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2008 i think the price is about right E34 M5's are going for 25k+ & the E28 is rarer & just that little bit cooler (IMO) is it true theres only 2 in NZ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, that is actually in-correct. From what I know there is a white 87' in Auckland, a champagne or Bronzit one in the Wairarapa, and 2 dark coloured ones in Christchurch. So there are atleast 5. The white one is a minter. Until recently i had a M6. The first owner of my car owned the champagne M5 at the same time. The white M5 in Auckland was owned by a gentleman who concurrently owned a red M6. This one for sale is actually a minter- it is Sth african but imported via Japan. As a consequence, it has the body-kit, a la E28 m535i. They are such a niche car- go great, but the styling isn't for everybody/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
