I finally went ahead and got myself a bimmer. It's used, but you couldn't possibly tell if you looked at it.
'99 BMW M5, 50000 miles, with movit brakes, eisenmann exhausts and Breyton Imagine rims. I absolutely love the sound of the V8, especially firing it up on a cold day.
The car performs as expected, and does the 0-60 mph in 5.3 secs
Oh and the price wasn't bad either: 19000 Euro.
As you can imagine, I'm ecstatic
