A big coincidence, and an even bigger grin on my face..

30k won't buy an 8k mile CSL though.

Why would I want an 8k mile car?

Because that gives you 92k miles before it explodes.

This was my 2nd favourite M5 colour, great little story that.

Just saw this over on M5board http://www.4starclassics.com/BMW-E39-M5-For-Sale-2/

The 500SL on that website looks awesome. :cool:

I've no idea, but if you didn't you'd be looking at £10k M5's not £30k M5's. The only reason why it's £30k is because it has 8k on it.

I'm not, as Pete said it had its share of issues when he moved it on and given how short the next few owners kept it, it still has hence price.

the issues were the sensors, which have been replaced.

I would buy it in a second if I could afford to run a 2nd car.

I too would buy it in a second if I could afford it.

This is when its run into cheapskate hands and you avoid....

Wouldn't bother me on something like a Clio 172, but on an M5, no thanks.

Most recent service carried out by myself - 139028MILES -Oil Filter, Air filters, Castrol 10w60tws, Brake fluid (Super Blue) Brake pads ( EBC yellow stuff - Better stopping and less dust!)

Matt82 · 7 Apr 2012 at 08:25

What's wrong with that service?

It would not bother me, its - on the face of it - an oil service with a few other bits & bobs done, with the right bits by the look of it.

Now, had he stripped & re-built the engine,yeah, I'd want to avoid that, but a service? I'd happily do that myself. (if I had the time)

I've never understood why anyone would pay somebody to change the fluids / serviceable items on a car that's outside of warranty. Waste of money imo!
