Estoril is a beautiful color. It tempts me to pick up an E36 M...but the interior of those damn things just ruins it for me.

there are a few with black interiors...not all are that terrible dove or gray color.

There was a pretty clean M3/4/5 for sale in Bellevue a couple of months ago in estoril/black. Shoulda got it for my dd.

I guess I should've been more clear. I rather like Estoril/dove, but the cheapness of the plastic-y interiors just kills it for me. I never liked dove gray, but it's growing on me and doesn't look too bad when it's clean!

Someone paid $20 for an M badge and stuck it on their 540 ;)

You can find M package 540s with the M5 bumpers, but they never had badges.

I need an E39 M5 so my stable more fully resembles yours.

It's actually really low on my list, and I prefer the car I already have, but I will stop at nothing in my quest to be more like Chris.

Thanks. I was just wondering if they actually made a E39 M5 Touring.
Austin, thanks for your useless reply as well. :tsk:

No such thing as an E39 M540, let alone in a touring version. That is not an M5 rear bumper, either.

+1^ It's actually #1 in my book.

Its the most non-m looking. Not full of M badges, but sounds beast. Best sleeper M car

The story goes, some exec at BMW wanted an M5 touring so a one-off was made:



any truth to that? who knows. There are a few replicas out there of course (touring with full S62 and M5 goodies), I like this blue one:
