Hi Karl
If you are coming over to the UK it would be great to meet and thank you in person with a pint or two. Also maybe you could come over for the Gaydon show which should be in September but I do not have dates yet.
The article does have some very good pictures and I think they really show off the Touring. Since Bob Harper states that he is biased as he thinks that the E34 M5 is the best car BMW have ever made and that the Touring is the same only with a little more space for the Labradors.
But at least it clarifys the "Elekta" myth and finally clarifies that this was a dealer specification and not an official car from BMW M-Power so for once and for all there is finally something in print.
BTW this is not the same car that I looked at in Munich Legends, I think that that one was number 19/XX. I also notice that unlike a number of other models I have seem this does not have a factory alarm and the auto-dipping mirror control. Which seems to be common to these "Elekta" models. Also this one has less milage on than the one I saw at ML.
Still the car looks in great condition and looks from the pictures as if it will be a great buy for any perspective purchaser. But that will depend on an up close inspection.
After a great drive on Sunday, which really re-inforced my decision to purchase the car - just opened that massive sunroof turned off the stereo and turned up the that six cylinder music box under the bonnet.
Thanks
Simon

Hi Karl,
I have just bought (from Munich Legends), vin 1475, mileage supposedly 84,000k. Metallic granite grey, light grey Papal ("holey"!) Leather.
I am led to believe it is originally from Italy - Avellino area.

Hi Del + congratulations !
I guess a purchase from 'ML' never comes cheap. Good to know that the
rarity ended up with a real BMW-enthusiast. Take good care ! Only 26 were
made in 'granit-silver-met.' -
Yes, the car might have had a life in Italy for some time but I believe it is
NOT an Italian version car nor an -export- car, I believe it was originally sold
in Germany. BMW can tell you the 'dealer' it was delivered to if you want to know ?? (you have an e-mail-msg as well) -
Cheers
Karl

I would like to know which dealer it came from. By the way that 84,000 is kilometres, not miles.
Only changes seem to be 3 piece BBS 18" wheels. Misunderstanding about Munich Legends, it was very realistically priced.......
I am the owner of #1935, Ascot Green 6 speed car built right at the end of the run in July 1995.
I am afraid that I have to sell the car - my family are moving to the country from London in the Summer, and I need to buy something more practical (and cheaper to run!) while i establish a new business.
Do you know of the best places to advertise the car in the UK - I have posted an ad on www.pistonheads.com with no response as yet - I wondered whether you knew of any better places to advertise this fantastic car?

any car with a good maintenance-record shud be higher priced for good reasons....
if you wish to know the dealer the car was originally delivered to, you must
approach the 'Mobile Tradition' with proof of ownership and ask the question..

Hi Sean,
too bad but that's life. As I am not in the UK I do not know what to recommend, Autotrader ??? This car (being LHD) shud create some interest even outside the UK, how about -www.mobile.de- and -www-bytbil.se-
what is your price-idea and the present mileage ??

Lost me now, what is 'Mobile Tradition' ?
Car has lost its power steering. I needed to beef up my arm muscles anyway, and the LHD is good training for the Nurburgring 24 hour in a couple of weeks....
Hello Karl,
Hello everybody,
What a great forum !!!
Ive bought a Daytona Violet BL01372 , M5 Touring in France, and imported to Argentina no mods so far. It came with an aftermaket Webasto moonroof.
This is the only one in Argentina.
Karl, can you update your geographic allocation.?
The only mod expected is M mirrors.
Regards
Sebastian
