Great car, horrible color scheme. Purple and grey?!?! And where the hell did that seat material come from, the Kia parts bin??

the interior in my 1994 ford thunderbird sc would have put that to shame.
terrible color scheme. cool car though.

Why can't that mileage be right?
I know a ton of people who have multiple cars and several are only used on occasion and put 500-1000 miles tops per year on them. Example, one of my parent's friend's from NY has a BMW 318 convertible (believe it's a 1993) which had ~15k miles when he bought it. Car was babied and used sparingly in a household which had multiple cars. Being in NY and that they have 4 cars when only two adults live in the house currently means it only gets a few hundred miles a year. He takes it out quite a bit, but just around town to run errands, etc...
I also had a weekend car which, if I kept it longer, would have averaged about 400-500 miles a year. Over 15 years it would have only had between 6k and 7500 miles if I kept that average up... so 11,700 for a 15 year old car is not far fetched by any means...

I feel like it would be more expensive if the mileage is correct. And I think it would have been mentioned in the description.

As nice as that car is, I'm still partial to the E28 M5.
That's what she said!
Let me put on my BMW Geek Glasses here for just a sec. Daytona Violet is the color of the purple stripe in the ///M logo. Some people will hate but I love it. E34's are one of my favorite cars, the M's are notoriously high maintenance and very expensive to repair. Owning one of these is a labor of love.

So many cars I'd be able to take a chance on because I could fix them if they broke.

Wow, I've never seen one before. If I had 15gs sitting around for a rare weekend car, I'd snag that shizzit up in a heartbeat. A 1995 model European car with 340hp and a 6 speed? I wouldn't care if it was hot pink, that's a freaking monster of a deal!

I think it looks great except I wish it was a leather interior. It is very clean and I would have expected the price to be a bit higher to be honest especially if it indeed is a Eurospec motor.

I think the s38 is the same material bmw had been using since the late 70's, and Nikasil is a 90's thing.

Very nice...... And the interior is very European. You could get similar patterns on VW and Mercedes. Hell, MB has had cloth interiors for a very long time. BMW too.

does it have a 6-speed too?
I actually like the purple, and with gray I don't mind. And I can acknowledge that the blue and the red (///M colors) matches the paint scheme...... but that pattern is just terrible.
Still... it's got the Euro motor! I was indeed considering an E34 M5 at one point seeing its reasonable prices.... then I found out they're pretty pricey to maintain.

Not much of a purple car fan, but this M5 is clean.

That and cloth in an e34 M5 is RARE.
