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!

blasphemy! :hitler:

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

[e30slut]

Yet you used to pilot a 5L Ford truck...

4.9 6cyl....
and thats why I switched back to bmw...

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

How did it leave the factory with those bumpers. Such eye sores even in "new" condition.

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

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...

Good. Keeps the riff raff out.

:finger: Riff Raff

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?

10mpg really? fuck that swap then

Its a freaking BMW Racing engine :p

[e30slut]

Yeah, fvck that $3000 engine I was going to buy, right before spending another $1,000 on fabricating and sourcing everything else I would need in order for it to get any power to the wheels. Because it all would have made perfect sense until I found out that I would be spending an extra $6/week on gasoline ARRRRGHHHHHHH!!!
