How rare are these? ---

I’ve seen a few in the WNY area. The S38 is a sweet motor. My 1991 M5 was a fun car and people seemed to appreciate what it was. As far as E30 M3 caliber, Im not sure they are there yet. If it’s a deal, go for it, but I wouldn’t anticipate it being the best investment ---

If you want it because it’s a cool old M5 that you could probably pick up, enjoy for a bit then get out of for about what you paid+put into repairs do it. If you’re doing this purely as an investment I’m sure you can find better returns looking at non-car investments. ---

Flipping cars can be pretty lucrative, and with Bings connections in the industry, I am sure he can get good price on work that needs to be done. ---

it looks pretty clean - if its cheap enough i say do it. It looks great, has nice wheel choice IMO, and looks good w/ roof rack. I think its an awesome “old” daily if its reliable and MT. ---

i could go either way. if i get it (which i think i will) i’ll get it drivable and make sure i enjoy it a little bit. this is the only E28 M5 on ebay recently: [http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-M5-Sedan-/141698724885?forcerrptr=true&hash=item20fde6f415&item=141698724885](http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-M5-Sedan-/141698724885?forcerrptr=true&hash=item20fde6f415&item=141698724885) $24k in pretty good shape. that’s $30k cdn… i’ll be no where near that even after a full resto on this thing. ---
