After an horrid accident with a drunk driver last November, I lost my beloved '95 Oxford Green E34 ///M and from then on I was searching relentlessly for a new ///M.
I was close to finding another E34 ///M but decided I needed an update. After months of research and taking advice from fellow board members, I pulled the trigger on a beast I found in Chicago. After a solid PPI, I flew up to Chi-town for a final test drive, payment and shipment of the ol' girl back to H-town. And now she's here! Been driving her for a week now and goodness I feel like a changed man. Cue Aerosmith! ~"I'M BACK! I'm back in the saddle again..."~
All thanks to you guys! I couldn't have done it without the coolest board members in the world! :biggrinbounce:

FYI- I parted her out after she was totaled. I will be posting a thread with parts and pictures but until then holler if you're interested!
Thanks for looking! :byee55amg :M5launch:
