Wow, yea this pricing is crazy. Hard to say how much of this is car market craziness vs. the market has finally adjusted long term for some of these cars just like prior gens. Also finally starting to feel real since these were the cars I interacted with right before / during my dealership days. Appreciate E30, E36, etc. - but late 90s/early 00’s was the sweet spot for me, I didn’t see the earlier models as much and didn’t have as strong of an emotional attachment. A later model year E39 M5 or E46 M3…
Missed the opportunity to buy one a lot cheaper 5-10 years ago. The X5 4.8is was also a really cool car - pretty rare back then, not as common as an X5M is today. Actually met Chris Bangle once due to an X5 4.8is break down (flat tire).
