Fack your rules!
Motorcycles that never get ridden automatically get 2 cylinders deducted too... that leaves you with... well, a bicycle

Vehicles that don't run count as negative so your total comes to 10. I've got 10 and 2 turbos... I win!

The 400 runs... for reals this time. I got it running today
 Ross's bike is in my garage, and that also runs. I got all sorts of stuff that runs! I dont think I've ever had this many running vehicles at my disposal before.

Oh man, I fucking love these things. Looked at one when I was looking at STi's, but halfway decent ones were a bit out of my price range.
Maybe when I get sick of the e30.

E39 M5 is definitely a car that I wouldn't mind having.

mileage is high, but i love that color does anyone else remember the E34 5 series at JMU, darkish blue. I dont know if it was an M5 or not but it looked delicious

That's a pretty good price.
I just really don't like the recirc-ball steering on the V8 cars. I mean, it's a BMW so I'm sure it's fine (And MB used RB steering for ages) it's just technology elitism. Like hating on the vette for having pushrods, I guess.

The sound it makes reminds me of our 454 trash truck...just add in a little backfiring. So I will say "I like it, but it needs more backfire!"

I think I could "settle" for an E39 540i
For DD purposes, the extra 110 hp wouldn't be all that necessary.

I wasn't too impressed with the E39 M5 when Tyler and I took one out for a spin. Dad's CTS-V feels stronger. Of course the quality of the M5 is much higher, but the milege is much higher as well, meaning more wear and tear at that price. If you are looking for a luxury mid-sized sedan with V-8 power, I suggest looking at a used CTS-V. Less milege, same price.
