...and suddenly I want an M5
Discussion
I had a ride in a fellow student's E39 M5 last night... easily the fastest and most powerful car I have ever been in by some margin. I was staggered by how something so big, heavy, luxurious and also so refined when doing a large number of leptons, was equally capable of raising eyebrows on an industrial estate by doing donuts in the carpark 
For some unfathomable reason I now want an M5 or the Jag equivalent... better start saving!! (hello insurance company assraping)

Nope - he's 21. My jealousy levels were though the roof during that journey ?
He's no chav though - he's a proper car enthusiast, gentleman driver and a really nice guy to boot

get yourself an e34 m5, (last of the hand made cars) put it on a limited mileage classic policy, and away you go. i had a 94 model, and it was very quick, and the best car i've ever owned 
What are they like with high mileage? There are loads on Autotrader with over 120K miles for not a lot of money.as long as you get one thats been looked after, you should be fine.
mine had 140000 miles on it when i bought it, f.s.h of which 120000 was bmw main dealer.
i got a folder of history, including bill of sale, every single m.o.t and receipts for nigh on 25k, so i knew it had been properley cared for. to be honest, even with the mileage, it still drove so tight, it was a fantastic car to own. if you were tempted, pay abit more to get a well cared for example as they are not cheap to fix, but such a great car to drive. i will be getting another.

Indeed. One can't but wonder why anyone who has enough money to have a $300,000 supercar would really need to attend Uni, you would think they could have just as much fun splashing the cash waiting for their inheritance doing anything but work.k.

Is doing donuts in a car park still chav when it's in an M5?
no, this is pistonheads... vehicle and social standing matter.Naturally I had the gardener drag him outside and drown him in the lake for speaking out of turn. Now I'm going to have to name a new butler. The serving classes never think of the trouble they cause for real people. Plus who is going to lay out my clothes tomorrow?
