I think @Jdesign was interested. I think it had a blown motor.
Thats alright, it's somewhere in a dark garage weeping for a cast iron 5.3 😢
jk
Pretty sure a s38 rebuild costs like $8000, but every other e30 m3 I see has a s50/52 in it. I'd enjoy something like that instead of it rotting in a garage.
The blown motor and trans is probably worth a few grand aswell

I have no idea what thread or what member this was in but like 6 months ago someone posted that they found a non-running e34 m5 in Minneapolis. It was in a garage and looked like it had body damage.
Any info on that or why nobody here bought it?

Seems like a really good deal for only 28k miles+ a hard top and the color combo

It looks a little rough but it has a pretty nice list of parts (e30 m3 suspension swap, etc)
This thing looks awesome

all that rust in the seams and shit on the rockers
even looks like the bottom of a fender is rusted out

Saw this new M5 at the gym in this horrible weather. Had some kinda carbon/black accent package and a more aggressive rear diffuser. A lady in her early 20’s was driving it

Does it work?!
It works great! Everything is very clean

I guess if there is anything else in this price range that would be a better options I can return this one.
If you wanna ball hard you could get a IS 70-200 f2.8L. I had one for a while and it takes incredibly sharp photos at f/2.8 (more depth of field wide open and low light performance) and the image stabilization is a huge help when zoomed to 200mm

hope it works! bets on if its stolen?
Works great, pawn shops submit all serial numbers and photos to the police and hold items for a month before selling them (I think). I feel comfortable having bought it in a retail store, but if it was stolen I’d feel very bad.
-
I know there are some other photography gear heads on here, check out what I got at a ghetto pawn store in Appleton
I’m not sure if what I did was morally right, pretty sure they forgot a 1 infront of 349. I didn’t question it, just said I’d take it.

All of the American marques used to facelift/redesign their cars yearly up until the late 70s/early 80s. If anything, this is a return to normal.

I'm only 21 😓

I'm just going to say that I hate how much automakers change designs now. They are constantly redesigning front and rear ends of cars literally yearly. I hate that shit. Seems like every day I see another car that has been completely face-lifted after just a year (not just slightly updated)
I know that it's good for business, I just hate thats how it is. New stuff doesn't satisfy anyone for more then a year now.. They change car designs like iPhones
Heres a quick example that comes to mind because I work with Elantras so much

Lets compare 80s/90s bmw now
1984 3-series
1992 3-series
I know that the e30, e36, e34, e39 etc. received several small design changes over the years, but not complete front/rear end overhauls yearly.

Whats the story on the M5?

Wow looks disgusting but seems like a lot of fun for the price.

Passing along the deal that @Jdesign passed to me, I can't logistically make it work and it would cost me too much to transport and store the car from Decorah, IA
1993 M5, guy is willing to sell for $4000 obo, @Jdesign had him at $3500 and maybe he'd take less. Heres what I have gathered from chatting with the guy
Car is complete. My thought was this is easily a $6500-7000 part out. Would love to see someone here get a deal. Pretty sure just the mirrors, bumpers, door handles and wheels would fetch $3000 rather quickly.
Edit: I ended up buying it 😬
