and it would be stored outside?

Yes on outside, but under a cover like my current one.

I would never buy this, I need an even older BMW like a hole in my head, but I love the look and the stance. Really neat car.

Way better color then the black only M5 and a lot cheaper.

Yep - My ears perked up when I saw that one come up.

It's already at $11k with 6 days still to go. I figure high teens by the time its over.... maybe.
Nice car - really nice. But, the $$ that it will get will be too much for me (I did think about it though).

Going on site to look at this in the morning. https://auctionservicesltd.hibid.com...0/?ref=catalog

The auction house is about 8 miles from my house. Seems cheap right now.

Only a 3.2 liter, but might be fun (or a money pit)
