In Reply to: Re: M5 Title Question posted by Chris on June 24, 2002 at 22:32:18:

...personally, transplants in general tend to scare me a little in the sense that it's difficult enough finding a decent, knowledgeable and honest bimmer mechanic. Now, finding one who's willing to work on a piece-meal 14 year old bimmer might just come back to bite you in the tuccus one day. Some may feel I'm speaking out of ignorance (can't say they're wrong), but my feeling is if you want an M-car, buy a real one. If you want some MIT grad's science project, make sure the MIT grad comes with the car in case something goes wrong. And for $13,500, you're well in the range of finding a really nice original M5. Also, does anyone know if there'd be any trouble importing this car to the U.S. from Canada? (assuming you live in the U.S.)

Just my $.02 (probably more like $.04). Good luck!

Rgds,
Tim G.
