E39 M5 on Wheeler Dealers

[Yiliterate]

Just a heads-up; according to last night's trailer, they're doing an E39 M5 on Wheeler Dealers next week (Tuesday 9pm on Discovery, Sky Ch520)...

[scarebus]

I wonder if they managed to sell it....
It was advertised for quite a while.

It's still up for sale as far as I can see:

Well, it will be interesting to see how they deal with it if they haven't actually sold it...maybe get the proverbial 'mate in the trade' to take it off their hands, like they did last week with the Morgan...

oldoutyerandfella, yerve just bought a BEAST

[scarebus]

Could be tempting to make a silly offer....

Any good to convert to a track day car?

[Welshbeef]

Listing ended it seems.

Certainly a car I'd appreciate in my ownership

[scarebus]

Ended because the dead line for filming is near.....

[Stevearmstrong]

I really think they'll struggle to sell that, pre facelift model and no sat nav, plenty of better cars out there.

[Butter Face]

Er, special edition with 430bhp??

[JD2329]

Yes, lots of cars out there. Not many of these selling the moment.

The E39 seems to be fast becoming a classic, it's not one I particularly like but appreciate the engine and ride quality it offers. Do we think the E60/61 will become or have similar future classic status? I think the V10 engine is just in a different league to most other high performance engines and surely alone with the F1 derived tech it should set it up as a future classic.

Classic status comes with rarity. There are a lot more E60's than E39's.
The E34 is hardly mega bucks is it either te only one really showing some form is the E28 the original.

Has it? It still show the sellers details to contact, I thought this was removed once the list ended?
