BMW E28 M5
I have just decided I need to own this car.
Aside from the insurance cost, does anyone know anything about any problems from which they suffer?

I think the biggest problem is getting hold of one. At least they are super rare here in Sweden. I know the King owns one.

If you're a sucker for the E28 it might take some time but there are alot of E34 M5:s out there at various prices. I guess the E28 is more of a collectable than the E34.

I know, there are tons of E34s and E39s, the E39 is especially good value, I've seen them in the UK at 11K with about 85,000 miles. A lot of car for the money.
The E28 is so beautiful though. Handbuilt like the E34.

My apologies, justthat some I have seen listed say they are automatic, having closely inspectedthe interior photo you can see they're manual.
I had thought it weird that an M product would have an autobox.
I'm not sure if I agree that it's a better looking car though.

^ you need to be careful about the E24 6 series. The M6 was only made for one year in that generation and i want to say it was 1988.
