Vehicle Summary

Jim's words:
Car was imported through Florida in February of 2002. The first owner titled the car in Fall City (Seattle), Washington in June of 2002. The federalization apparently took from February to June to complete. The car had 39K miles at that point. Tim Wasmer (Aurora, Colorado) bought the car in February of 2003 with 46K miles on it. Jon Ludwig (Houston, Texas) bought the car in August of 2004 with 54K miles. I bought the car in November of 2004 with 56K miles on it.

My words:
This is one of the final E34 M5's produced by BMW, and one of the last BMW M-cars that was built by hand. This fine example was built in the last month of production and is one of only two in this color that have been privately imported to the United States. The huge brakes and special options that were part of the Nurburgring package make it that much more desirable to E34 M5 fans in the US. Jim found a great car to hold on to for a long while!
