Steeltag, thanks for the nice words...However, I noticed you have a few clollectables yourself. Would you believe that I had "purchased" 2 '91 M5's last year over the internet, only to back out of the deal after close inspections. After that, I started to look in the other direction, that is a low mileage 535i, due mainly of the maintainace/expense of the M5 drive train & suspension. I find the M30 much less expensive to maintain, but then you sacrifice the performance. At 63 and doing most of my own fixes on the fleet, as well as the kids bimmers, I was afraid of the S38B36. I can only dream about the M5 now.
