I think you need to look at all this from a different angle.......
Swap the engine's over, give the 5 series to your wife and have a 330bhp E30!!!!!
That's almost what gareth is up to at the moment!!!!
(Think outside the box!!!!!)
When it's upside down and burning, you've gone too FAST!!!

It would be a hard choice to choose it over my cab but i think you've got an awesome car there matey, i know its not in the same league but after driving my brothers 518i and his 525i of the same shape i have been thinking of getting one myself as a second car, they are so effortless to drive
i'd be trying some serious sucking up to try and keep em both
good luck anyway whatever happens
worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but it never really gets you anywhere

Bloody lovely mate!
good luck with it-deffo made the right choice, in my eyes.
I've oft said to friends that only car I'd drop my e30 for would be an e34 m5 touring-they are the dogs danglies!
I find the e34 much more composed on the road than the e30-it feels every inch the "gentlemans conveyance"

I think the more imporant question is...where did you learn to park?
As for an M5 or Sport? M5 of course....how many M's are there in Sport?

Mans gotta point. Sell both and get a late M5 3.8 with the Nuremburg handling pack in rosso red or that gorgeous blue they do.
Anywho - looks like you got yourself a beast there!

I prefer the earlier 3.6 models-not as much power but less to go wrong !
