      If you're worried about fuel economy you have no business driving an M5... Or an M3... Or a BMW for that matter.

      How about a nice previously owned Geo Metro?

          Plus if gas prices are what's scaring you away from an S38 you need to look harder at how much those motors are to keep running.

          You can buy a mid miles S50 for the price of S38 timing components lol

              But the S38 is so... Noisy and lucrative to work on...

                So true! I'd go strait to the dealer and buy new euro bumpers.

                  Chances are they have no more than $25k in it. Even thats steep.

                        I think those epa estimates were way off back in the day. I know that the m42 was under rated by like 10mpg

                          That M5 would make a nice track car! Strip the interior, swap in some coilovers and weld in a roll cage and you're set! Hell yeah!
