Not sure how I feel about this one! Great condition, highly original, and "unique" (to say the least), sure it will bring some strong bids...

But on my personal "don't like" list,
  • Pastel Yellow paint
  • Graphite Grey interior
  • Front Bumperettes
  • Burl wood trim
  • Tiptronic

Off Topic— I’ll never post another in this thread, but I know many of us currently own or have owned this car along with our Porsches. It won’t hurt my feelings to delete this post.

Jeez, Gerald, I’m shocked that you would post something about an M5!

Amazing cars. Loved every bit of the 2002 M5 I had....minus the plastic pieces disintegrating as per BMW's normal

Won’t happen again. I’ve never seen an e39 M5 sell for over 1.5 times the original cost before; despite the low mileage.

Damn, this car makes me which that 1) I had kept my '95 Cream Yellow Volvo T5R wagon and 2) this was manual and I had funds to bid on this.... those two cars would be the perfect two car garage for me

The modifications are overlooked because of the low mileage maybe? I personally don't understand the inflated value low mileage adds. As much as I love the look of my Turbo when I walk by it in the garage, I enjoy driving it even more. Time ( and also T2) has proven the 996 Turbo to be a very robust car.

I suppose that with T2's car, it could end up being in The Prestige Thread because it's so well known for it's ultra-high miles that it would be a "celebrity" type car and sell for a big premium.
