I currently run a 2001 E39 M5 in carbon black 82k miles. I really love this car and I cannot think of anything to replace it other than with a very late pampered car.
I am keeping an eye on the classifieds and there is an 03/03 for sale but it doesn't seem to be a papered queen.
I am looking for as late a car as possible, low miles, proper history, garaged and mint. If your itching to sell please let me know. Some choice mods wouldn't put me off but Red, Green or estoril blue would!

That would be the sensible option but my car is in excellent condition, not virtually new. I have seen a couple of 2003 cars that are virtually in perfect condition having been extremely well looked after. I want to keep the next M5 for a long time so I am therefore looking for a car that has been garaged and is therefore least likely to rust in years to come.
If you're still looking to scratch that itch (to sell that is 
) after the summer holidays, then I may be very interested in yours (depending on a whole lot of other factors of course). My current boring box is coming to the end of the lease contract in November and I'm desperate to get back to 'evo' motoring, with my current favourite being a 1999-2001 E39 M5.

It just that I want a the best one that I can find that has been garaged so that I can keep it for a long time.
The M Power mechanic at the BMW garage already has first dibs on the car then followed by a friend. However, they may not find as easy to find the funds now so it may be on the market. Yes it is a facelift.

Hedgetrimmer,
The only car in the classifieds that appears to fit your bill is this one.......

Seems a lot of money to spend on the "same car". Is it going to be significantly better than yours and worth the additional £6-7k? I'd suggest not. Get yours professionally detailed for a few hundred quid, have the wheels refurbed if they need it and then see if you still have the desire to change it.

This is the car that I referred to in my previous email. It sounds like a nice car but it has been garaged for the last two years whilst the owner was abroad so hasn't been active. Also, the garage described the car as excellent condition when I spoke to them and were not really that upbeat.The only car in the classifieds that appears to fit your bill is this one.......

I'm not up for paying Hexagon prices when they have probably slapped £10k margin in each car.
