Hello all, just wondering if anyone has an E39 M5 near to Portsmouth they would be willing to show me, and maybe even take me out in? Reason being I am thinking about one but just would not mind seeing what they are like.

Thanks

Lee

As a fellow Cerbera driver (ex in your case).
My nipper (TJW) is not a million miles away and picked one up recently, I'll flag the thread to him, can't make any promises.

A bit further afield but i am in Basingstoke and would be happy to show you my E39 M5. There's also another M5 owner I know in Basingstoke as well who I am sure would be equally happy to show you his M5 as well :-)

Have you asked in the South Coast Forum? Might get more of a response, am sure there are a couple of guys down our way?!

I'm in Chichester - (and mine's for sale...)

I've got a potential buyer seeing the car tomorrow, and then I'm away on business until Friday. If its not sold, your welcome to come and have a look/ride at the weekend - even if your not looking to buy!

What top chaps we have on here.. thumbup

Don't suppose anyone can do similar in the Arlesey/Stevenage area?
I can reciprocate with a blast in the mighty 523i! hehe



Wanted an E39 M5 for some time, especially after selling my TVR 450 SEAC frown

Recent house purchase put a stop to that, but still Curious..

Never mind the M5- I know I'll get hung for this but after driving Lee's 996 it felt, well a bit soft!!

Really appreciated the drive of your 996 Lee, now all I need is a Turbo S...
