I didn't buy it, CNA are mad trying to sell a magazine for R170.
My local CNA at Bracken City used to bring in the Performance BMW magazine which I used to buy, but they stopped because I was the only person buying it. :cry:

Thanks guys. I don't want to speak to soon however the car has found a new and very very fitting home. In fact I can not think of a better home for this car than the one it is going to.

I have lavished love and TLC on this car and it will be eternally missed. But I have great peace of mind knowing that car is travelling full circle and rejoining with it's original place of sale. And in some ways with it's original intended owner.

Once it is in new hands the owner can comment further if he so wishes.

I can say that I am excited to see the new heights this car will reach in his hands as I know of few people that are as OCD and caring and meticulous as he is.

As we say farewell to a chapter of nearly 4 years with this Legendary car, we also open the door to another life long anticipated and desired reality that looms around the corner.

It is indeed exciting times :)

Lol, the new owner told me last week he has ordered new leather for the seats. So I was wondering when the deal was gonna be concluded.

Congratulations to the new owner. He was also the previous owner of my 540 :rollsmile:

He really should take the M5's seats to one place, and one place only to have the work performed.

This is my 540/6 seats reupholstered by said person:

Wow, that came out fantastic!

The new owner ordered brand new seat covers from BMW. I cant even mention the price without fainting...

Even better. That must have been probably close to 25% of the value of the car? :dropjaw:

But the skins still need to be fitted, so I would still recommend Mr. Troski. Not plain sailing as with most new car seat covers.

These seats have no less than 9 covers. All separate

Well if the deal doesn't go through there's 9 genuine BMW seat covers for sale :biglol:

I must admit that there's an element of this deal that I'm very jealous of...

Well I guess it is time for an update on The Legendary M5...

I'm very proud to say I am the new owner of a car that has received so much love and attention the last years, a great thanks to Rick and Andy for that!

This is my 3rd E34 M5, when I sold the last 1 back in 2007 it left me with a void none of my other M cars could fill. The E34 M5 is just a really special car for me.

I will keep this thread alive and share the improvement I will make on this very special car!
