Very nice

MGT81 · 10-01-2014, 08:31 AM

Yup. It's a mint E34 M5. Full engine rebuild, full respray, revamped suspension. The last two owners have out over $40,000 worth of parts and labour into it and it drives amazingly.

mike@x-ph.com · 10-01-2014, 12:20 PM

Nice!!

Eat.Sleep.Race · 10-01-2014, 12:21 PM

Nice ride! Hope it all works out and you get it.

Nope. Just a member. Just figured it was easier to post a link than duplicate everything here.

Sweet, I wish they would continue that no auto tradition haha.

Great car, just watch out for the S38, high-strung beasts.

ethanjoon · 10-01-2014, 06:23 PM

Manual FTW!!!

MGT81 · 10-03-2014, 12:40 AM

I'm doing it. Put down a deposit with the seller tonight.

duboy · 10-03-2014, 07:20 AM

congrats, our E34 M5 is the next project car. It runs fine and is in good shape, but it needs just a bit of TLC (rough idle is the biggest thing). I'm about to wrap up the E91 3 stage manifold/tune and then we'll get cracking on it. The S38 is so much fun, you're gonna love it.

Thanks. Yup, that's pretty much the reason that I'm buying it. Didnt need/wasn't looking for a second car. But when something like this comes along for under $10k, I just couldn't pass it up. Would have regretted it forever if I had.

MGT81 · 10-03-2014, 10:53 AM

It's actually also been updated with an E90 shark fin which provides satellite radio, Bluetooth, xenon headlights and an E90 rear view mirror with integrated garage opener. My 335xi doesn't even have that!
