Z3M gone so heres the replacement.

Post by uk86ze »

Sold the Z3m last week after 3 years of ownership and 2500 miles of open top driving.
started to have withdrawl symptons straight away and was kind of kicking myself selling it.
Heres the replacement and the kids can all go into for a drive aswell now.

I've often thought about an M5 but can't justify it, superb car.

28mpg on motorway and about 17mpg around town. inspection 2 compaired to the z3 is about £300 from speacialist.
takes about 7.5 litres of oil though.
i have had the back boxes removed (4 of them) and it sounds like a v8 now.

I think there were only 34 imola e39 m5's released in the u.k market so its pretty rare and then with it being facelift , all black leather with aluminium trim mines even rare.

I think Yocky has an Imola M5 as well. I haven't seen him in ages as due to the crap weather I haven't been to the Derbyshire BMW meet.

Nice car

Often thought about one for myself, but it's almost too practical .... if that makes any sense ? Great looking car, and the mpg isn't that bad ( he tries to convince himself )

Noise and fuel bills aside,.... I bet that feels a little different to drive than the Z3m - do you care to enlighten us?

Good choice of car BTW, I cannot even remember last time I saw one on the road 8-)

Beautiful example of the BMW uber-saloon. What a machine and what a sound! Someday......I'm telling myself....someday...but hopefully only in addition to Hamish. Mmmmmm, Imola dreams ... 8-)

Have fun in the M5 mate. Its name alone gives me goosebumps. 8-)
