So Long 540i/6...
It's been a fun 2-1/2 years but with 100k on the clock it was time to give her up. Her replacement you ask......

'02 M5...Came across it a couple of weeks ago and couldn't pass it up. All I can say is this car is fvckin' fast and a blast to drive. If you were ever considering one, I can truly say it is worth the price of admission to get behind the wheel of one.
I'll get more pics during the day.

That's awesome! You didn't move too far from BMW. My question is this: where in Oahu can you really drive fast? The H1 is like a parking lot every time I used it. And $3/gallon for gas ...

Beautiful car. I had definitely considered a used M5 before I got the CTS-V. The car is such a nice piece of engineering. Ultimately, I went with the V because of the full intact warranty and the relatively cheap cost to mod the LS6 motor. A supercharger for the M5 costs more than a used '01-02 CLS!!!

Have fun and look forward to seeing you at the track!

Najjjsss! I sold my 540i/6 last week too, but I got a bitch car instead. I'll post some pics this weekend when I pick it up...

One of my buddies just picked up an '01 M5, fully loaded, last week. How much did they give you for your 540i?
