Thank you. Yes it was local and he knew what he had. He had 3 e30 m3's(2 now), a 3.8 m5, and a couple 3.6 m5s too I believe he said. He used to have 5 e30 m3s but scraped two shells 10 years ago when they weren't worth much. It's like scraping an e36 m3 shell today..He got mine from Louisiana after Katrina hit. It has salvaged title sadly from waterlogged engine that he also scraped. He claims the car to never been in a wreck. He rewired the entire car from one of the part m3s that he scraped. It was a 40 thousand mile car so all the wires, brake booster etc. are in excellent shape. I'm going to see about getting it inspected and getting the title "Rebuilt" atleast. 130k on the body. 1 spot of rust in the corner by the rear driver side window. He got it in 2005 so directly after Katrina, he had it shipped here, gutted the entire car and pressure washed it to get all the saltwater off...but he missed a spot lol. Then it sat in a pole building for 10 years collecting dust till yesterday. Picking up the S54 for it today hopefully.

It was black and it's getting resprayed black.. Purple one is staying the same. The one getting painted is only a 3.6 liter.
The euro M5 I just found on Craigslist one day I randomly was looking at Seattles postings for BMW m5's and I came across the 3.8 purple monster. Always had been a dream car of mine. I ordered a plane ticket for me and my friend the next day. We flew out and drove it home. Took a chance on that one and I'm glad I did.

Got it from Seattle Washington.

Mine is a 1994. That one is pre-facelift. That was a stupid good deal for 12k though. I want to own ALL of the 3.8 m5's.
