Just stuck a deposit on an e39 m5 today. Who sends me a passionbmw sticker? Lol

 

just use the passionford one like everyone else lol

 

Congrats.

 

Good stuff mate. No more opening bonnets everyday then

 

Cheers lol.

I still need to check the oil, but there won't be any paranoia when I'm driving it

 

Good lad!

Eurocarparts have a sale on at the moment, £31 for castrol EDGE, it's the cheapest you'll get it anywhere, I usually buy a bottle every time it's on sale.
Any questions just ask, had mine for 3 years and still love it.

 

Cheers Rog, ill have to get myself a tub.

Just need to find some cheap, genuine angel eyes for it!

 

Speak to Mike Brewer mate, he gets proper cheap car parts

Nice cars the E39 M5, for the price they are now you could say they are a proper bargain per ££

 

Lol, well he does have a car show room in my city hahahaha.

Cheers, I got this for £5500 and while it's not mint (I hate the term mint) it's in good condition, 106k miles, been well looked after and sounds amazing!

 

Pic missing?

Yeah they're dirt cheap now for what they are, same as cossies really, you could pay another 3-4 grand and end up with a car no better than one at £5500 really. So many to choose from as well, do your homework and there's always a bargain to be had

 

I'm trying to join.

Looking for an E46 M3 convertible, manual. Can't find one at the moment...

 

Plynchy, have you tried m3cutters.co.uk?

Not posted a pic yet Rog, will try and put one on later.
That was my thinking, plus this has lots of receipts, every mot from new, service history etc, both vanos units were quiet, cam chain is quiet and not slack when rubbing. Sure the body work needs a little attention (paint is a bit flat and 2 tiny bits of rust which I'm gonna get sorted ASAP), I don't think I could've done any better for the money. There's no rust in the fuel filler cap (what a bad design!) and the noise, the noise is worth £5500 on it's own! Just need to bring the car up to date looks wise, it needs angel eyes

 

Sounds like you've covered all the bases with what to look for!
I know what you mean about the filler cap, I think the guy left bmw that designed it and went on to work for ford doing the ones on mk1 Ka's...

I always put loads of polish on the seam on mine and don't buff it off, it looks unsightly when you open up the petrol cap but the little rust that was there 3 years ago has never gotten any worse, so it's deffo worth fussing over. Just had mine painted at the back, a bad repair on a rear arch was totally fucked after the winter, and then one day a big rust bubble just appeared from nowehere from the top of the rear bumper on the rear 1/4 so I had the bumper off and that fixed, but generally they are super solid and don't suffer from corrosion much.

Can't wait to see pics!

 

Yes I have mate, got a wanted ad on there at present.

Got a couple of bites so far and hoping to arrange some viewings in the next couple of weeks.

 

I keep looking at m6's at the moment! Would like one.

Get some pictures up!

I hope so mate, just hope that there isn't a big bill waiting for me! Luckily I have a few quid out aside just in case!

Lol, I reckon he started life at vauxhall first doing the rear arches on Novas, Astras and cavaliers lol.

Does the polish stop it sitting there then? Or stop it sitting on the paint, so sits on the polish? I might use some hd wax there or something.

Mines rusted just above the bumper as well. It seems another common spot for them. Ill get on top of that before it gets too bad!

Lol, pics will be up soon, they're from the advert as I didn't take any when I viewed the car .

Ah bummer plynchy, I'm sure something will turn up soon!

I will soon eigdoog lol

 

Nice cars.

Get some decent headlights on it as the OEM dipped are totally shit at night time. There on par with candles in pumpkin head.

 

I'm going to upgrade to facelift ones. It has xenons as standard but I haven't driven it in the dark yet

 

A few pics.

 

im currently looking for a 330d e46 m sport nice car btw

 

Very nice

 

Cheers guys

 

Looks like my 530d, bet it goes better though

 

Looks stunning mate

 

Lol ginge, that's the beauty of the E39 M5, doesn't really stand out! And yes it does lol.

Cheers BM08. The paint is a bit flat on the passenger side, I think it's had some paint at some point, but it is hpi clear so not too fussed

 

Loving that, looks like a clean car!
My only input would be to get the crystal rear lights and a detail/paint correction but it looks well!

 

Congratulations - Very Nice

Ford to BMW to Porsche is my logical thinking

 

Very nice.I love that shape bm.

 

Looks a nice clean usuable example

 

Get this bought



Nice M5 Mike!! My mate used to have an e46 m3 vert and sold it to get a silverstone blue e39 m5. The difference was night and day!!!!

 

Cheers rog Which ones? These ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bmw-e39-5-...-/321145072774

My mates gonna look at the paint and detailing for me. I dont expect nor really want a mint car as I'd be too worried about using it lol.

Thanks mate Not sure about a Porsche, depends how my career and life goes I guess, I've wanted something with a prancing horse on the bonnet for a while, or maybe a nice Aston Martin at some point when I'm older.

Cheers Glenn, I think its the last of the decent looking M5's tbh. E28, E34 and E39 are classics. E6x and F10 havent grown on me really. Thats not to say that they wont.

Cheers Less

Thanks Pal. I was looking at getting an E46 M3 originally, but sub frame issues put me off so I decided to go back to what I've wanted for years. I'm looking forward to really being able to open the taps properly on this for the first time when I get it Might get 100 miles to a tank if I'm lucky

 

Nice, welcome to BMW ownership, there is quite a few of us on here now lol

 

Cheers pal Which Beemer do you have?

 

£5500 for an M5.. is that all they go for. Lot of car for the money.

I have an e46 325 m sport and it's been hassle free motoring since owning it. Enjoy.

 

Got a 5 series touring mate, love it.

 

Yeah they're well cheap these days. They're the price of a ropey sapph, no comparison, though I know a good stage 3/4 cossie will beat me, I dont mind.

Cheers mate, I do like the E46's in m sport guise!

That looks nice mate, good choice!

 

Cheers, I have had a few teething issues with it, suspension air bag popped on me on the motorway and tuck out rear tyres and micro switch that kept popping boot window open and flattening battery, but after that its been mint

 

gutted! I hope it wasnt too expensive!

Pics of my M5 are now up in the Gallery.

 

Another member of Passionbmw here!

E46 M3 convertible. Love it!
