Maybe A Nutty Idea, But Would You Buy A Back-Up M5?
You know I was just writing a post and I remembered I always wanted to ask this--maybe someone else already has??
Anyway, would you consider buying a second E39 M5 to keep along with your current one? Sort of the "heir and a spare" concept. Seriously though! Maybe someone out here already has two (or more ) E39 M5s?
Thanks for satifying my curiousity and helping me know I'm not totally mental for maybe wanting to do it myself!!
wilsodh...that lucky SOB Two M5's and a kick-a*s home.
OMG how could I've forgotten him!! Maybe it's because the one is like a 'beautiful dream" or a "fantasy come to life" Definitely not the standard issue M5!! Did he ever come up with a new name for it?
Leave it to me to chime in here. Yep, I am one BMW freak. I have thought about it in the past...maybe a back up Lemans Blue beast?...hahaha...however, I came to my senses and spent all my extra money on modifications.
sooo, one for backing up, one for forward... mmmmm. (in my homer simpson voice)
I would say the though has crossed my mind, get a pristine 03 garage queen, but then i remember the issues like money and space. I think if i were in the market for an additional car, it would have to be different.
I had two e39's for a year or so, my 528 was supposed to be my daily driver, black on black, sport pkg, comfort seats, 5 speed, dinan suspension, etc. A really nice car. Except it was a 528, and i had an m5 at home in the garage. Eventually, the 528 sat, while the m5 was used daily. Made no sense, so the 528 went.

We are soon to retire my wife's Merc SUV to kid/duty/dog car. There are so many good deals on pristine '03 M5s that I am tempted. Problem is, as much as my wife loves the M5, I think she wants something smaller, ala M coupe/M3 (or even 335)...
In reality, then, the extra M5 would be for me, when mine wore out. Nothing else is tempting me, but then again my car is fairly young. Maybe I can hold out for the F10 M5 (but maybe not, as I likely will not be buying it new at, what, probably $130K...).
Two M5's and a kick-a*s home.
