Finally, the guilt got to me, knowing that my wife was the one that really needed a car, for hauling kids around, groceries and long trips. I decided to trade it in this morning and soon will be on someones dealer block again.
The Honda dealer gave me $35k for it, I didnt loose money! for $35k was the wholesale price.
If someone ever gets it again, I have my mechanic who can do the clutch work for around $900 and that will be a very special car! for the money!
An 2002 M5 with about 50k miles, WOW! Im already worked a deal for my wife new van this morning and will be handing in the M5 keys today. I like to drive it more, for its fun driving that thing! I enjoyed it!
I finally realized that family needs are more important!
Thanks for the concern gang! I had fun! didnt loose money, well maybe $500, but it was a memorable brithday wkend moment using that M5, with friends and family, Dont worry we didnt trasht it !
Its a Great CAR! just get the clutch/oil seal/wheel fixed! (dont do it with the dealer, it more expenzive, I have trusted foreign car mechanic fren for you for maybe around $1500+/-, if you like to PM me!

Do you actually still own the car?
or did you trade it in as you stated in another post (and in a PM to me)?
If you still own it, why the BS...and if you don't own it, why the BS?
