Same here! What about that E9!! 

I dont care about the M5 much. Are they really going for $15k with over 200k on the clock though?!

Yes.  M5 prices are ridiculous!  You couldn't get a decent m5 for less than $15k - $20k when I was looking 4 years ago and they were all over 100k miles.

On a similar note, sad to see this one go to the vultures. Wonder what took it off the road. Im going to assume he blew the motor.

6 speed e38!

[stealthbimmer]

Yeesh. 7k for an e38 with over 225k. I know its cool with the manual swap and all, but I could find a better way to spend that kind of coin.

[Jdesign]

I second that. It seems to be exceptionally clean though.

[P_Roloff]

Yeah, definitely more than I’d pay. Maybe if it had 100k fewer miles.

[RobZR]

Nice swap, but the price is sky high for a rustbelt cosmetic basket case.  @235k its due for another refresh of everything. and no reference of timing chain guides being done.

all the effort of the swap to start with a basket case. 

Nice E38's are so cheep now, Why swap this one. 

If you are going to swap one pick one of these.

I just don’t understand why he didn’t do the valley pan gasket though along with the rest of the cooling system.

Who puts a trailer hitch on a 750il?

A lot of the trailer hitches i've installed on strange vehicles (Smart 4two, Mini Cooper's, Toyota Yariseses, etc.) are for bike racks.  It makes sense if you don't want to deal with putting a roof rack on.

Truth. I put a hitch receiver on my E90.
I've done roof racks before for bikes, but they are subject to road debris, mileage takes a massive slash, and loading bikes onto a roof isn't all that convenient.

I hate you for saying that. now im scowering the internet to figure out what they are from. They are not from a Cressida. I assume they are from something from the Canadian market.
