Have to agree with you on the colour. Love it!

Its been sitting on TM for quite a while now.

That's a seriously low price! God knows why it hasn't sold yet!

[JaseNZ 53]

For only an extra 130k you could have this instead.

[BreakMyWindow 1874]

I wonder if its had a pre-purchase inspection....

[Hi-Tek 3]

That's quite hot.

Tempting as a daily driver.

In my opinion I think the market has changed alot in the last year- these cars are sitting around at $29k, $33k , $40k, and $50k respectively (priced according to mileage). Some of them have been marketed for quite awhile.

My thoughts are that they are all out of sync by $5k or so (and the most expensive by even more than $5k).

E39 M5's are ridiculously good cars, but I think like the E46 M3, there has been a shift in what prospective buyers believe they are now worth.

Irrespective of colour, spec, etc. , they seem to be sitting around for alot longer than they did a year back or so.

Thoughts?

Is 150k getting up there in terms of maintainence costs do you think.

I'm picking 27k ish would buy it.

For one of those V8s, nah, that's stuff all kms.

Shouldn't change the maintainence, the usual wear and tear items as always, even change the oil every 5,000km to help the against the aging process.

Oh god. Really going to get myself in trouble with a finance company if I keep looking at these cars.

But it's good trouble.

Edit: How the hell did this not sell at that price?

There has to be issues ah. That wasn't just a start price. It was reserve. Only a few months back I was looking at 2003 540M's at that price.

The only colour for BMW, period. If I ever plonked down some $ for a brand new BMW, I'll choose that kind of colour. With terracota leather....

the silver m5 with the two tone interior looks a minter...would prefer a facelift one though
