A warning drawing attention to the wording in the post and a seller's history is good. I just sensed that the tone of the posts was drawing attention away from the fact that there was a car worth having out there. Hence my post.

I've known David for a while and he helped me in the intial stages of my own E34 M5 top-end rebuild. I'm glad Mike and other enthusiast friends of your's found nice cars as they are getting scarce (and expensive).

I'm just putting the warning out there so that it doesn't happen to anyone else. It could easily happen again, since he said he is "considering" selling the car. I just hope that if I were looking at a car, someone would warn me about the seller if there was a reason for concern. The bright side was that Mike found a better M5 then dave's, as did another friend of mine. Both of them bought Concours condition M5's.
