    It's 2011 S Drive 3.5 IS with an M package. They don't really have an M version of this car. Think 135i M. Same idea. Different bumpers, M steering wheel and door sills, slight bump in HP, adjustable suspension.

    Yes, I do still have the M5.

    And before anyone asks, I still have a Mini, also. 06 JCW.

    Well, I am just going to say that buying used saves a lot of that $72k. This particular specimen was a BMW executive's car. Only has 2400 miles on it and technically speaking I am the first registered owner. I.E. it ran around with manufacturer plates on it. Still has most of its warranty through 2015. It was a deal I could live with.

    Forum friendly answer would be: "I make sure my wife is happy."

    :lol: well that's the main thing :Thumbsup:

    Not sure what you would pay for a car like that but......she, my wife, wants a new sports car, still mad that I made her get rid of her 2003 Z4, looked at a new 2013 Z4 :eek6: OMG! $72,000 :crazy: Did look at a 06 SLK 280 at carmax couple weeks ago, $24,000 then add another $2500 for a warranty. Very cool though :idea:
