i'm thinking of going shopping in the next 1/2 year for a nice car:)

what would you pay for it?

2001 5000cc , 5 spd , 50 kms 18in alloys

dont know the milage as it's not even here.

arr if you cant read the back of it (it's a M5)

The ones i've seen sell were for 65000 - 90000 depending on year and miliage.

wow..that is a serious motor car.From what i have heard the e39,s are less user serviceable than the e 34s.It may not be an issue to you but be warned that a inspection two would prolly run around 1000 dollars......and thats only routine stuff,more if you need to replace brake rotors n stuff.This is an estimate based on an inspection two on my 535 at page european in wellington.

If youve got the cash to buy/service the 5th wonder of the world (according to me) and uve got the service history to look over, then what are you waiting for.... its a lovely colour to.

I'd give it a miss. The steering wheel is upside down

Seriously - damn fine car. It's only money, go for it!

If you don't buy it I will as i've been looking at getting a second car for my wife to run around in

It cost me $1500 for a tune as it is for my E36

if you see one around CHCH for sale give me a yell if you could ay

M5

If you do buy it get it with a service plan coz they are bloody expensive to maintain wicked car though my old man has one. great fun overtaking 300kw holdens in.

By the way m5s are 6 speed

:mosh:

Damm I'd trade both my nuts and maybe my wife for that.. sweet ride

[Gus 5]

i actually have an M5 im not that keen on.....and im sure i could find a good use for two nuts....and i did want a wife

[bmwsparkle 3]

e39 m5, one of my favourite bimmers... awsum

[Surge 1]

There's an M5 at Euromarque, $100,000. I'm sure if you paid cash they'd knock a few thousand off.

My boss (ok the boss of my boss) just bought a 2002 M3 (20,000km) for just shy of $90,000. Buying a late model M5 for the same kinda cash seems like a bargin in comparison.
