Guys,
I started a new post to organize my E39 search. I apologize for being all over the place and will keep all posts regarding my search in here.
I have been looking all over the place and did come across a place in Ohio that has some of the best I have seen but like the pay to play quote I got from one member the purchase price up there. Not sure I want to spend $30K+ on one.
On another note I cam across this one on ebay:
BMW : 5-Series - eBay (item 160546469321 end time Feb-21-11 16:59:02 PST)
No way I would spend close to $40K on one but do find it strange that the person posting this was a new ebay member just a few days ago.
Also anyone in here driven a 2008+ M3. Seems like a similar V8 engine with a bit more HP (414HP). I have never driven one but have it on my radar screen as it seems the price points keep going on on the E39's I find. Being that the E90 is a 2008 it would be covered through 2012 under the 4 yr BMW maintenance warranty. Bad thing is that I could not touch one under $40K and would assume it would be hit hard with depreciation over the next 3 yrs while the E39's price has remained fairly consistent. There is no way I could buy a sweet E39 for say $27K and it two years it would be worth 60% of that amount if the mileage and condition remained consistent. I don't have any intention of selling what I get for at least 5 yrs but do want to be smart in terms of the value of the vehicle at the point I am ready to move on.
Sorry about being a bit off on the 2008 M3 but would love to hear from people that may of had one or have driven one.
