Nice, is that titanium grey metallic and did you transplant the S62 to your 540? If BMWUSA would import the M wagons, I would have bought one.

Mine sat on the dealer lot for 9 months (this was back in early 2020). With only 5k miles and CPO’d, I watched them dropped the price from $85k to $79k, still no takers. I offered them 5% less. They first resisted and I told them the market where I live (this is my local dealer) are SUV market. The stay home moms like big a$$ SUVs and it is out of reach for the Subaru crowd. They can wait for another many months or sell that to me. They agreed with my assessment and we closed the deal.

Not able to sell, finally traded it for $73500 for a 992 about 10 days ago. What a disappointment this car was.

thanks! It’s slate green metallic. Started with a 525, so just a bit more involved. Also used a full m5 donor car, so it’s a full conversion. Build is on IG @s62touring

Good stuff. I had a 525 for 17 years it’s titanium grey metallic (color looks similar in picture). Wish I had the room to keep it. Great car and never let me down, easy to work on. In the last few years of ownership, I had the whole cooling system replaced and suspension replaced with Bilstein sport + HR springs.

Agree! Love my ST!. The Audi is way over the top in styling for my taste, but I am very happy for my collegue to step up in the car world.

Wagon in the wilds of our local Trader Joes parking lot. Wife has wanted a G-wagon for a long time until she drove the Panamera and fell in love with it. Whew!

I see we're E39 People here. This was My Lemans Blue M5, with the Lemans Blue Interior. Should Have never sold it. It woulda been worth something some day.

That’s my favorite color on a E39.
