Title: My new ride... no more Turbo Coupe
Post by: ProTouring442 on September 04, 2010, 09:02:06 PM
And so the Turbo Coupe will soon be gone, but to help keep my spirits up, I have a new ride....

This is me and my new-to-me 1993 BMW M5. The E34 M5 was the last of the hand-built M cars, and features a 315hp 3.5l inline six, a 5-speed, and sports-car like handling. With 120K miles, this car looks like new both inside and out! I picked her up in Loveland, Colorado and drove her back to Tennessee. Wow, I'm in love! LOL

Nice Color !!!

Thank you sir! A bit of research has turned up that there were only 25 M5s built in that color, Calypso Red in '93. Of those 25, only 5 were imported into the US.

I typically dont like imports.  That is one nice looking car though.  I bet it drives and handles great.

Nice!

Like a dream!

I would have liked an American vehicle, but I couldn't find anything in the size/sport/price range that came even close.
