Decided to bite the bullet and try and find the car i always nagged my dad to buy in the 1980's, an original M5 (of course he couldn't afford anything better than a 525e !). Where is the best place to look ? What i'd like is something very original and with decent history. Help !

Excellent decision! These guys have quite a selection: http://www.avantgardecars.co.uk/other-prestigeAnd worth giving the guys at 4star a call to see if they've got any coming in: www.4starclassics.comETA: I'm sure you know what you're doing, but do bear in mind the cam chain change due at circa 100k miles. Big job and worth factoring in. And then check for rust everywhere - wings (inner and outer) around the screens, lights, sills, etc etc.

Chris Harris' driveway!  Or failing that I'm certain Munich Legends could source one for you. www.munichlegends.co.uk

The other people that seem to "traffic" in BMW's like this are Classic Heroes www.classicheroes.co.uk I've never used them and no experience of them. I think they were set up by some ex Munich Legends people.

Classic Heroes is owned by Tony Halse AFAIK so yes, he's the former owner of Munich Legends, I'd imagine both companies would be worth having a chat with.  Very jealous of your plans, just picked up an E36 M3 frm Munich Legends, have to say their service and knowledge is excetional. I swear they have clocked how I've looked at other cars in the showroom and know I'm going to be a sucker for another deal at some point... LOL

CDMGA said: Happen I've got one, had it for 12 years and it's been looked after by Munich Legends for most of that time. Reluctantly letting it go, so if you are interested... Let me know. East Sussex. yes, i'm kent/sussex/surrey borders, not far from ML.

there is a guy on the m5board, think david is his name, based in suffolk.
think he is quite good at finding m5's i believe he advertises on car and classic, and always seems fair.
i may look into another e34 m5 next year, and would contact him.
i bought my old e34 from 4starclassics a couple of years back, can't fault the service, but think their prices have risen a fair bit.
