A significant day - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Hello Gentleman [and ladies if they're on this board

] I took an 800 km road trip in the beast. I had a few WOT runs but mostly cruised at 140 km/h - In Ontario, if you're caught speeding 150 + km/h you have your car towed on the spot and your licence suspended too. But on my way back, my odometer red 250,000 km and she's still running as good as ever.

needs a left wheel hub, but after hibernation

maybe a paint job too - If im feeling generous.

I bought the car when it was at 230,xxx km, and the man didn't give me any bills

bought I got in contact with the owner before him - and he said he spent an enormous amount of money to keep it up to par...

Currently, it needs a left front wheel hub [bearing is creeking/squeaking] and the idle is high in traffic until i give'r a good rev and she goes back down.

apart from that - it's still a tank.
[could use a paint job though....lol]
