As much interest as the M5 Touring spurs on this board, I'm curious to see who will fork over the $40k in change or so and actually buy one..

Dude, for that kind of overpriced dough, you could practically buy a brand new well equipped leftover 2000 528i sports wagon with sports-premium package for around $43k..

1993 Euro 3.8 M5 Touring, Daytona Violet, Full black leather, dual sunroofs, dual electronic climate controls, armrests, heated seats, etc... This is one of the best examples here in the US. There might be 5 in the country. The car usually sells between 35k-43k in the US right now, depending on the year, mileage, options & overall condition. These items are new with 5k miles or less on them. Motor, JC Chip, UUC short shifter, MK Motorsport Stainless Steel cat-back exhaust, 18" Motorsport Double spoke wheels/Michelin Pilot Sports with matching spare, embroidered ///M5 mats, $6k custom sound sytem. Serious offers only!!! If you want to see pictures go to John Robinson's site www.m5springboard.com scroll down to the bottome of the E-34 pictures and click on the photo to see other photos. Happy Holidays To All...........
