Just got my "old" and loved beast BACK!!! - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Maybe some of you still remember my message two weeks ago on which I was saying that I sold my M5 and brought an Z8... Well I went back to my dealer and tuk it back. I'M SO HAPPY THAT HE DID NOT sell him in the meantime!!! **** (sorry) I missed my M5... The Z8 is nice, quick, fast... but it's not really a car.
My Girlfriend is not happy with my decission, but whi cares.

Now my Garage looks a bit spoiled, but who cares?

Now I got an M5, Z8, X5 (4.4 = Girlfiends Car) an Mustang '67 and in June I will get an Z3 (for my Girlfriend = This was the deal to get my M5 back)...

Maybe I should contact BMW to see if I get some shares for free...

By the way, in June I'll have to sell one of the cars or rent a new Parkingspot, but again who cares???

Cheers from Switzerland

Nico,
wow! thats quite a collection! Yes, youre right- the Z8 is great fun, but lets face it, its more of a toy. The M5 is a real car- it has a real trunk, a real back seat, and is comfortable and extremely capable.

Id love to see some pictures of your garage! Btw- do you have the larger wheels and tires on your X5 and how does it handle in the snow?

Hi all,
I've been away for a couple of day, skiing in the Mountains...(with the X5). Some answers to the questions posed earlier;

- I got my old beast back for the same price as I sold it, the reason is that the dealer is a friend of mine, and the car was not booked in his records.
- Yes, I'll put some pictures on the board during next week
- I can't sell the Z3, otherwise my girlfriend would start to drive my Z8 and I don't like this idea at all.
- It was not easy to buy the Z8, but I was lucky, the guy how ordered this car run out of money, so I could by it for US$ 106'000 two week old with 1450 miles...

Cheers, Nico
