Angry Sold the Beast....it's a sad, sad day!

Due to curcumstances beyond my control (Maryland State Income Taxes), I had to sell my baby. (2000 jet black/caramel).

I have owned an E36 M3 (99 cosmos black/black) that sat parked for the 14 months I enjoyed the M5.

Comparatively, the M3 is a bucket of bolts.

Trying to make lemonade out of lemons....I rationalized that the car...with 58,700 miles...needed a warranty extension for 1 more year at a cost of about $2K, may have proven to be costly to keep.

I hereby make a solemn oath that I will be back...with a later model replacement...next Spring (06).

Hello David,
Sorry to hear about your situation. I hope to see you back in an E39 M5 soon (not one of those E60 M5s ).
Best Wishes,
Alfred
