Wow, are you part Nigerian?

To the OP, if you are asking top dollar for your car a few more pictures would help immensely, starting with pictures of the driver's seat and engine compartment...

I'm sorry, but this forum is not very good for selling my M5... just a lot of joking going on.

Touchy much? Deleting your OP because of a bot/spammer post and some retorts to that is over-reacting.

Comments like above from "schnitzel#boy" is why I don't use this forum.

You may want to look at Enthusiast Auto for pricing on M5's with under 100,000 miles on them.

A seller can ask whatever they want for their item... now that doesn't mean they will get it. But all it really takes is one sucker.

Mye28 is a great forum and it always makes me laugh when people get upset at the criticism they get for posting a poor FS ad or asking too much for something. The potential buyers decide what an item is worth, and for a lot of potential buyers on this item, the asking price is high without justification. Posting to a message board exposes one to this sort of critique.

Over the past few years, M5's have been selling around $20k-$30k with very nice example with paperwork of maintenance or other relevant work bringing them near or above $40k. Premium cars trade for premium prices, and I think the enthusiasts on this board would love to see photos of a premium $50k M5.

EAG is a dealership and can ask top dollar because of their following and their efforts to replace what may need repair/replacement. This doesn't mean in a private sale that a buyer will or will not pay the same top dollar.

This is all very nice and educational. I had no idea such a thing as an E28 M5 existed, as I'm sure no one else in this website has even seen one in person.

Are we ever going to see more information about your fine automobile? Such as, I don't know, photos, or ownership history, or mileage, or -god forbid- a VIN?

I'm getting *REALLY* curious.

He can't do that, it would probably reveal his car isn't worth half his ask... He accepts wire transfers only I'm sure...

[markivan]

I deleted the advertisement because of immature comments such as below.

Everyone on this board knows about the M5, you think people haven't see the CHRIS HARRIS video lol, give me a break. You just can't be bothered to put effort into a for sale add yet others are "immature" for expecting effort lol. You probably just don't want to actually sell, and at that price you have nothing to worry about. Just another "I know what I have!" listing. Keep posting links everyone has already seen instead of the car. Joke of an "add", though you really can't even call it that.

The seller lives in Seattle area and his car supposedly has 75k miles, so this UK example is surely not the car for sale.

The one in the link provided by OP is a DC93, not a DC92 (or DC91). 83k on the ODO.

also from the link

According to the accompanying CARFAX report, this M5 appears to have been delivered new in Illinois. It passed between owners in South Carolina, Minnesota and Ohio before it was purchased by the current owner in late 2016 and exported to Switzerland in early 2017.

I don't think this is the VIN of the OP's (supposed) car. I think you have posted a VIN from one of the other cars he posted links to.

Ah, thanks for the explanation.
