Nice, for what it is (a 3-series).
But I'm looking for its bigger brother (5 or 7).

I am patient... the E38 I have is doing ok - for now. I will need to do something by the end of summer though (I figure).

Thanks for the help guys - keep them coming. You never know.
I suggest you check the M5board.com classifieds daily. I've been keeping an eye over there for something interesting for you, but nothing is for sale in the sweetspot (2002/2003 ~80k-110k miles good color combo) at the moment. That board is the most active e39 m5 board and the participants are very knowledgable.

If I see anything good, I'll push it your way. I think the one you were bidding on sold for a good $5k more than it was worth. Probably a good thing that you didn't chase it. (Unless these things have hit that old 911 inflection point in the appreciation curve and are about to go off the rails).
