Anyone from Rye, NY? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

I'm in the process of buying a '02 LeMans/Tan with 23xxx miles. Original owner was from Rye, NY and traded the car in Jan/Feb of this year. I'm trying to find him/her to inquire about history.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

A couple of questions............
Is the car a private sale or from a dealer? Do you have the last 7 digits of the VIN # ? If so, give them to me and I'll run the car's history for you.

Ive seen a car that meets your description that parked at the Rye train station a few times. Looked to be in solid condition, but definately exposed to the elements if that is an issue for you (and if this is actually the same car).

I've run the Carfax and it's clean - never a lien. Inspection today by a PA BMW dealer reveals a superb condition car, all maintenance is current, no repainting, no repairs, etc. but the possibility of a minorly bent rim (on the inside) likely from a pot hole. I'm just curious if anyone knows the name of the original owner and/or if he/she was a fanatic or just latching on to a hot car for a while...I suspect the latter.
