Keep on dropping like them housing prices.:cool:

Good for me.:D

They're running out of warranty..

I can't say I have any interest in this car. I think lighter cars are more fun (http://forums.carmudgeons.com/showthread.php?t=9521)

Sh!tty brakes, can't get it without a sunroof, mandatory traction control, what's to like? :D

If it were me, I'd spend a little extra coin and get this depreciation nightmare:

4 door manual RWD sedan with 400HP or more that doesn't look like ass is a tall order.

Other than E39 M5 and the CTSV, what else is out there?:dunno:

[zeroday]

based on that criteria i'd have to agree.

I have to say I have kind of lost interest as well.

Out of warrenty will be a PITA. So would my E46.

I am all about the 135i right now.

Hey stuka, check this (http://www.bostoncars.us/showroom/carpicture/?car=/static/cars/2003_BMW_M5_Stock_F92860/car.JPG) out.

Were I in the market for an E39 M5 I think I'd be hard pressed to not look closely at the 335. Add a diff to that car and it seems like it would be more appealing in every way.

Except it's way uglier and has a horrible interior that isn't driver centric. Oh, and it probably has i-drive. It's doubtful that it sounds anywhere near as good, either. Other than that . . .

Yes, it's uglier, and the interior isn't as nice, but you can get the 335 w/out iDrive, right? And anyway, I suspect the driving experience is a lot better. It's lighter. It has rack 'n pinion steering versus the E39 recirculating ball. It has a more modern suspension. It's smaller. But then again, I haven't driven either of them so I'm just spouting off here.

Regarding the 10k mile example I posted above -- this is fucking laughable.

VEHICLE SPECIFIC INFORMATION:
2003 BMW M5 Sports Sedan VIN# WBSDE93493CF92860. One owner vehicle is in exceptional condition with only 10K MILES. Unique offering. The only one M5 available for sale in the country with such low documented mileage. Looks and drives truly like a new car. Get this legendary ultimate driving machine for $55,000 - almost a $30,000 saving compared with a new one.
