yup. As I said, I pretty much would always regret not buying it. If I was ever gonna buy one of these, I'll never find a better one for a better price. $9500 is a steal for this thing.

175000 miles on an M series BMW, that is something I would not choose to subject myself to. 10k is too much.

I think you're missing the point. As you can see, it's had a shit load of work done to it. And if you saw the condition of it, you might think differently.

You won't! The number of clean E34 M5's popping up is only gonna go down.
Fun (more like sad) fact: there are no more barn find E28 M5's in the USA. Some fine folks on (I think) m5board accounted for most of them that are currently in the country.
