I have no clue what it's worth, but it's tempting at the current price. And local.

Alternatively, why not an M5 Touring?

After seeing the interior, I can think of a couple reasons.

It would not have been my color choice but the condition looks fine.

You kinda have to take what you can get with these rare cars.

Nothing wrong with that interior. Black is hot as hell (and a bit boring). Not sure on the whole gray market car thing; it would have to be THAT special. Is an m5 touring better than an m5 other than having never been sold here? Is someone buying this thinking of wagon/salt/snow duty?

Green leather seats?

Ok.

Yes, but in your garage, isn't the interior the easiest thing to fix?

Not really. Anything mechanical is no problem for me to do. I'd have to farm it out to an upholsterer. I can't even fathom how much it would cost to fix that abortion of an interior.
