its the j/k plate shape in talkin about


they are 315bhp standard apparantly ,does it feel quickish or slow ,fuel etc etc

Been lookin at a few on auto trader if i sell the cossie next year

COMEDY DAN

Good cars, go for the slightly later model and have the lux of a 6 speed box and revised suspension amongst other upgrades.

Search for this on PF as there have been plenty of posts about these

i still want a powerfull car and comfort ,but no wallet humping repair bills even tho i still love the cossies they sometimes get on ur nerves

James

They look a bit old imho i know the sierra cosworth is no modern design icon but to most people a m5 is just a 5 series beemer with a m badge on the bonnet, nothing special.

The newer shape e39 535/540 V8 is what i quite like the look of.

Csm

im talkin affordable m5 beemers not mortgage money versions buddy


its just a hassle free powerfull car is what i was thinkin

James

nice old m5=5-7k?

e39 535/540 v8 with the tv and toys=5=7kplus

i know which i'd rather.

EIL132

Not in the same league

James

hahahaha

nifty edit

Whats good about the old m5 then?

i have to confess i've never been in an old m5 soo don't know what they're like?

EIL132

Then dont compare them, the others are just suit mobiles made for luxury and not out and out performance

nice cars but the m3 looks the business

Csm

Yup ,surly thats like comparing a ghia saph 2000e with a cossie !!!

2 very different machines to do a different job

James

If you think a 4.4 v8 with 285bhp compares with a 2000e that is!

Csm

I think ul find im comparing a 2000e against a cossie


as u are with a normal beemer against a m series

2 cars each doing different jobs all round

Csm

And car manufactureres can shove tvs and sat nav extras up there arse ,not interested in that ,POWER IS THO

I love the e34 M5!! I have been thinking about getting one of these for ages. The earlyer one with the 3.2 are better, the 3.8 has loads more problems but the 3.2 is bullet proof !! the ajustable shocks are Ł600 each on the 3.8!!

SPEND 4-6K AND get a 1995 jaguar XJR supercharged 320bhp and dont half go some good all round performers


Straight 6

Or spend 7+ and get the V8 version which is 375bhp standard and F*****G flys

saff_cossie

Until they go wrong! I used to work for Jag and they are a long long way shy of being cheap to maintain and repair

Rick

That seems like awesome value. Image is a bit old though.

The early ones are 3.6 chap - they didn't do a 3.2 M5

AdsCapri2

yer but do remember you worked for jaguar so you would only see the broken ones. My old mans owned 3 of each and none of them have ever gone wrong
