    Thoughts on an M5

    All,
    I'm looking to put an e34 M5 in the stable with my 325iX (and the wife's e90). Since I know the community is small, I was wondering if anyone had previously seen or knew of a car with the VIN:WBSHD9319MBK05142.

    It is a silver on grey car, previously spent some time in KS and MO, according to the CarFax and it is now in AZ and being sold by a wholesaler.

    Here is a link to the previous listing:



    If you all have any thoughts I'd really appreciate them. Also, if anyone knows of a reputable shop for conducting a thorough PPI in the Phoenix, AZ area, I'd really appreciate a reference.

    WOW! That car is NICE! Too bad reserve wasn't met. Why can't I have an extra 10k lying around to gobble this up.

        It seems to have been for sale since May or so. Any recommendations for a shop for a PPI?

                Awesome. Thanks, I'll give them a call tomorrow.

                I was looking at the photos again today and it seems there is something going on with the top of the cluster. It almost looks like a piece of plastic is sticking out or not seated right.

                      I worked at a BMW shop,that he would bring his auction cars to. He would always laugh at how he stole the car for a great price,and that all he would do is wash it and detail it,and oversell the car.If something was wrong with a car he would do it as cheap as possible. The vibe of this man was just vile and disgusting, a very dishonest man.

                        Wow. Thanks for the heads up. I think the car went back up e-bay and may have sold this time. I'm really glad I passed on it. It doesn't surprise me that there are a certain number of people like that, but it is frustrating as an enthusiast.
