Sounds good. Nothing like the sound of a high revving BMW V8

I will I will :) Either an E39 or a SS (if they get cheap enough )

I can afford em right now (with all the accompanying maintenance ) but I fear if I buy a 4 door sedan instead of say a Vette or an E90 , I won’t be able to buy a proper sports car later.

I love my M5, but wonder what it would be like to own a proper sports car.

The only right thing is to  get both. So your decision now should be what you want to get first lol

Ooh I’m definitely getting a sports car right now. Just wait for a month or two :) it’ll mostly be a C5Z06.

The most logical thing would be to have a sporty sedan and a sport car. But I like the little Mini too much....

It’s a high mileage car but in good condition, clean title , drivetrain is solid. But if you’re looking for a garage queen/show car, it is not that. More of a warm weather cruiser /track car.

114k miles, valve springs and harmonic balancer done, new tires. M ods are a vararam and mgw short shifter. Has some paint flaws. If you’re still interested, shoot me an email address or something and I’ll send you a full rundown.

It’ll become my autox car so the rougher (visually) the better and hopefully cheaper :p

Mail me at gh05ttwej at the googles (its a zero not an oooo)

Also, where is the car located?

Fun fact: the second car I ever drove that was manual was an E39 M5. This one, to be exact ( maybe the former owner will pop in, I know he’s around here somewhere... ) . It was just a bit different than the 06? Cobalt 2.2 that was the first I drove.

Awesome car, but the level of maintenance ( so many tires! ) isn’t for me.

Maybe because I  have an aftermarket exhaust and tune and I'm in an underground garage, we only hear the good sounds? Lol
