Flew to St. Louis one way for a 2001 BMW M5. Drove it back. This car embodies everything I would want in a car. I went for a ride in EvoMR’s Uncles a few years back and was pretty impressed. Needless to say it stuck with me. I like the looks of the E39 so much more than the E60. Definitely could not afford a new one lol. Decided to pick up an M5 after Turbociv wouldn’t sell me his 540i/6 for $2500. This is also the first fun car I have owned since 2002 I think. It has been a long time coming. All smiles on the way back. [ATTACH=CONFIG]22438[/ATTACH] ---

A friend of mine sold his e36 M3 and upgraded to one of these. Got a ride in it and ohh how well it pulls, but still refined! Very nice! How many miles on it and if you don’t mind, ballpark of what you paid? [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/went-out-for-a-car-and-got-a-car/227117.md?page=2)
