The Cobra got a new stablemate this weekend!

Nice E39. What year, 2003 for a car 10 years newer?

 

[Cobra228]

2001 M5. Had to part with my 97 M3 that I've had for 8 years. I've wanted an M5 for a long time now. They have finally gotten affordable.

Not bad. Always a good looking car.

My brother-in-law gets a leaser from the company he works for. Nice little perk I suppose!

Best of luck with the '01. Keep the oil clean and I trust the Vanos will behave.

Had to Google that one. 6 degrees , plus or minus.......pretty cool.

Thank you!! I plan on it! the PO threw in 8 cases of Liqui Moly 10W60 as part of the deal! so far no Vanos noise. My M3's Vanos was really noisey, even after having it rebuilt with the anti rattle kit.

10w60? Wow.

Congratulations to the new addition!! Is that the DD?

 

[Cobra228]

thank you. No my company provides me with a beautiful Astro cargo van to use. The M5 will see more use than the Cobra but it will be limited.

What options does the cobra have, interior color, sunroof, how many miles?

 

[Cobra228]

The Cobra is #228. Grey leather, no sunroof. It has just over 31k now. Bought it 10 years ago with 24000. I added a 355 gear, borla exhaust and a factory ford cd player. Otherwise stock. I don't drive it often but I just can't let her go!

 

[WillyB93]

I understand, that's what is making my search hard to find what I am looking for. People just don't want to get rid of them, I will find one eventually!

 

[Cobra228]

What are you looking for exactly. Miles, color combo, price range. I do see them for sale occasionally in the Carolinas. I can keep an eye out for you.

you should use Castrol TWS 10w60, it's the only oil that BMW approves for these cars
