If it's unused, why are the pedals so filthy?

Bloody hell x 2!
Ignoring the price - other than the obvious cleaning and changing all fluids etc, I wonder what other work would be needed to get the car going?
Even though it might have 0 kms, surely things like bushes would be pretty perished by now?

Because maybe the valeter who parked it there 10 years ago had muddy boots or maybe even camera flash makes em look dirty? Fook me how sad are we to discuss mucky pedals!!!! But im sure if you turn up with 65k cash they will clean the pedals for you!!!BenHar wrote:If it's unused, why are the pedals so filthy?

Yeah, cars are for driving and in that instance it wouldn't exactly be the only car so the miles wouldn't rack up, probably not in the rain though!

understated classic does it for me, slip under the radar thank you very much, the lambo especially is 'look at me' I've got money but no imagination to spend it on.

my point is that 65k will buy you something far far more enjoyable, there are many many many more on the list at the price with an e34 M5 being firmly wedged at the bottom.. IMO
25k maybe, a 65k 518 is for collectors who drive much much more interesting & enjoyable chariots

well, yes exactly.
if youre considering spending £65k on an old m5 then you probably already have a pretty large and varied collection.
if i had the money 'spare' i'd buy it and stick it in a climate controlled bubble in my vast car collection and keep it showroom fresh forever.
i'd also have a very tidy but completely useable one to actually drive too

in all fairness, it's nice when these things pop up, if only more were given the buy now, look again in 20 years treatment.

Its a shame someone decided to 'preserve' a boggo 3.6
If it was a fruited 3.8 shooting break, i might get a little excited !

You could say that about alot of cars kos. But when you say preserve what do you mean? Hope to make a profit in the future?Kos wrote:e34 M5 are going to go up in price, now's the time to buy one and preserve it
To buy one and maintain properly will cost you alot annually. To store one for X amount of years will also cost you, and then you have problems trying to make it road worthy.
The e34 m5 will never be as classic like its older brother the e28 but that's another conversation.

The E28 M5 already is a classic. E34's are slowly getting there but won't be as sought after.

Yep.
I do love the looks of the e34 variant. One of the best looking bmw's ever imo.

I do not honestly believe that this will ever be worth more than 65k, its never been that desirable and like previously stated its not the greatest spec! Defo better things to sink 65k into and end of day if its been for sale in its Homeland Germany home of rich beer drinking sausage eating fookers and still not sold that tells me its not worth the money! Quick way to lose 65k imo!

Maybe in 10 years time when 65k will only buy you a years worth of petrol
I dont see the point of preserving it in a bubble, unless you own a motor museum of course, tucking it away in a poxy garage with another few million quids worth of cars that never get used or seen? How fooking sad

are you trying to be like Goldfinger and destroying all the remaining e30s in the world until only your personal collection is left and worth a fortune?
