Looks stunning to me...Just not a fan of the steering wheel or the alpinas, but that can be changed

What a stunning example of //M5.

Lovely condition.
(will look even better when they finish painting it)

Really nice car, only thing that bothers me is that the door panels are leathers, whereas the seats are cloth/leather. My macao blue M5 had the cloth interior standard and the door inserts were in the same time of upholstery. I don't know if this combination is original, maybe a difference in the US/CAN vs EU markets?

The car is a J-Spec vehicle imported into Canada. It seems that quite a few low mileage examples have arrived on our shores from Japan in the last few years.

Member 'Usual Suspect' is taking delivery of one very soon if he hasn't already received it.

Unfortunately, the rules for importing vehicles from outside North America into Canada will be changing soon and a good source of clean low mileage cars will be drying up.

nice!

I like the steering wheel, they are a very rare option those ones. Looks good on a grey car too!

Bit weird having the lighter grey cloth with the black leather - usually the black leather comes with the darker ///m cloth, looks good tho, reminds me of the winklehocks (which also had lighter cloth with black leather on the sport recaros iirc)

A beautiful example...well found Wout....Love the steering wheel and the wheels look great to...not many wheels suit the E34 M's but these do aswell as the original M pars and Tstars imho

What are they changing the rules to? Hopefully not following the unfortunate changes we had here 2 years ago ...

Great spot Wout .......fine example and very well marketed .

I agree with Stevie .....the original 20 spoke Alpinas suit the E34 well . On the more geeky side , I particularly like the over mats .....very luxurious looking........maybe he had them made from Grizzly Bear ?!
