Ill play too, my new daily beater

[momo]

damn, that m5 is nice! i just feel like the upkeep in maintenance and issues with that car could be $$$

[bluecollar]

That's a sexy m5, not a bad price at all.

I had a family friend try to sell me her abused 328 last week for $500. I almost bought it just for fun, but she has had so many problems with that damn thing I'm not sure I want to. Still might anyway.

#1 reason I'll probably never own one

Man, I thought I was an asshole, but the Bimmerforums guys really are dicks. And not like we are, they are fixated on stupid shit and argue about it with each other.

Sounds like the LS1 guys.

Maintenance isn't bad if you do it yourself, and get your fluids and generic parts from the chain parts places. BMW specific parts are $$$ though, and labor is a killer. I was quoted just under $2k to do the rear pads, rotors, and wear sensors. Tuned out that I just needed pads and the sensors, which I swapped myself for a little over $100.

Do it for short term. Enjoy it for a bit, mark the notch on your belt, take the resale BMW hit, and smile when you give the keys to the new owner.

If you don't want it I am interested.

Yeah, me too.


I have to hide it on Saturdays at the shop, people keep trying to buy it.

I don't do very good with taking hits on vehicles. I like to make money or break even on them

Look here dude, I'm not gonna buy one any time soon so I need someone to live vicariously through.

I gave serious thought to paying cash for this beater, but couldn't bring myself to do it...

so been wanting this mother fucker for 7yrs of my life

Drove a v10 m5, dope, exotic car-like, and if it goes boom, exotic-car bucks. v10 m5 is very very sweet, but exotic basically!

I will probably buy one at some point though (when I need 4 doors), I'm driving an e46 M3 at the moment.

Back off ninja, I need a racecar.

[Scott Mc]

I want a 03ish M3 with the clutchless standard in a bad way for my next daily but fixing an older "semi high end" sports car is steering me away from it.

I cant speek for the newer ones, but mine is a pile of crap. It wouldnt be worth registering it if it was a ford or gm product in this shape. But, I really like driving it. I have bit off a hell of a lot to chew, but I'll get it knocked out slowly. Even with worn out suspension, a drivers window that wont move, a sketchy sunroof, and an a/c blower fan that works randomly, it still is a decent driver.

You cant say that about many cars. Hell my Altima was a great car, bought nearly new, and Id rather drive this pile.

[Scott Mc]

They are fun cars and I hate admitting it. I hate more that I am about to state I would take a new M3 over a new GT but I would. I got tainted after owning a lightly used C230 Kompressor sedan now I have a german xmas tree addiction lol.
