gjm 3258 Report post Posted August 25, 2016 It's unusual... It's nappa - maybe that's what happens when it fades in sunlight and has some wear? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

str8_6 275 Report post Posted August 25, 2016 I have heard the caramel leather is prone to wear but that is pretty bad. Looks like a good project for the right price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BreakMyWindow 1874 Report post Posted August 26, 2016 Looks like extreme uv ray damage combined with general wear and tear. The seats would look as new with a restoration kit from furniture clinic. You could easily sink 5 k in to that example. More if needing mechanical attention. Would be hard to get over 20k back due to the kms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2425 Report post Posted August 26, 2016 i'd LOVE to take it on a project to restomod, but its still a lot of money. Compared to your old one Martin, this one looks like a dog. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2078 Report post Posted August 26, 2016 After looking at that I don't think that is a cheap M5 at all. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted August 26, 2016 Around 10k might be relative. If basic interior and cosmetic problems are that bad, the suspension, engine core (vanos etc) and drive terrain must be pretty shagged. Usually such issues of neglect go hand in hand.

Eagle 1662 Report post Posted August 26, 2016 Yeah its looks more like general neglect not general wear and tear to my eye Probably hasn't spend much on it and is looking to get rid of it before something costly fails. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted August 26, 2016 I have looked at them in the US as a possible buy. But anything under $15K US is an expensive rescue. A few being advertised with "Funny sound from engine". Had it serviced just last year. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
