My new E34 M5
I've known about this car for 5 years and the owner emailed me and said he is going to finally sell it. So I made the decision to purchase the car, but I live in Central Florida and the car was located in Sacramento, Ca. Sounds like an excuse for a fun road trip... So I planned out a "little" drive back with my sister.
Before we started the drive back, I had Dinan of Mountain View do an oil change and inspection which was highly recommended. Then continued through San Francisco, Yosemite Natl park, Nevada, Utah, Bryce Canyon, Denver Colorado etc.
The car performed flawlessly along the 4,400 mile drive back to Florida They dont call it the "Ultimate Driving Machine" for nothing

Nice car and nice road trip, I have driven through San Francisco, Yosemite Natl park, Nevada, Utah, Bryce Canyon and Zion area but in some rubbish economy rental car. It must have been epic in an M5. Brilliant photos taken along the way. I hope your AC works.

Haha thanks guys, I'll look for some more good photos to post... I was a little nervous to take this 21 year old car across the country, but it performed like new! AC worked perfect during this record breaking heat
