What have you done to your MS3 today?

[H3br3w_Ham3r]

Cool. Catted?

Yes it is. I don't think you can get the cobb dp without a cat.

I also ordered some winter rubber finally. Probably should've done that before we got 13 in of snow this week

Not sure about cobb... but I know you can get a CP-e catless DP.

Cobb is catted only.

An E39 M5.

An E39 M5.

Pre-'01 or '01-up?

 

[///M Compact]

Right now I'm looking at an '00, primarily due to the fact it is in immaculate condition both mechanically and cosmetically. I'd prefer an '01 or later car for the better Mk. IV nav system as well as the Celis headlamps, -and possible lower oil consumption- but so it goes.

 

[Nliiitend1]

Nice.

I have no idea what those are going for these days, but I've always admired them.

The later cars also have the nicer steering wheel, but I suppose that's something that might actually be easily changeable (assuming no weirdness with the air bag system).

If you have the $$$ you can completely convert an early car into a later one. The wheel, Nav, headlamps and LED tails can all be swapped in. I also like the smaller wheel, but I'd have to find one at a really REALLY good price.

Beefy tires, rear motor mount, trans mount, suspension work, and an engine torque dampener is about the limit of what you can do with ditching wheelhop.

Good point.

What's an average mileage mid-cycle example of one of those go for these days??

 

[Saskatchewan17]

From a cars.com search prices very from a bit over 30k for a 40,000 mile or so 2003, and around 20k or so for a 2000 with around 70,000-100,000+ miles.

An E39 M5.

You son of a b****. haha, just kidding. But I want an E39 M5 so bad. Meisterschaft race exhaust, and supersprint headers. That and meisterschaft eqipped e90 M3 are the best sounding cars ever! Plus, I lobe the looks of The e39
