MPD47, Check out this 5 series wagon

Ive been browsing for a new car for the past couple days and this one popped up. Not interested in it but thought it was interesting:

heh…like the heads/gaskets?

yummy. a 12cyl estate sleeper

I wouldn’t pay the current bid of $6601.
My 2 cents.

There are two of these, I’ve seen the other first hand, very cool swap/highway car but an absolute nightmare to work on. That being said, I’d still like to own one. There are a bunch of sedan’s walking around with this swap, one of which was a Euro M5 that windowed the S38B38 had a CSI swap, decided it wasnt enough power and just got a built Hartge V12.

MIKE…u need more power in the touring

Nah, I am thinking about a V12 car though…
