The Ultimate Expression of Your Sports Car Passion—in a Four-Door? What if you could get your hands on a high-performance German driving machine that competes with Porsches and Mercedes, doesn't cost a fortune, and even has a usable back seat and trunk? Meet the classic BMW 5-Series M car: Possibly the fastest and tightest-handling sedan ever manufactured Sold in the United States between 1988 and 2003 (three different models) With a plain-looking (but very BMW) exterior that earned it the nickname 'wolf in sheep's clothing'—and fortunately causes it to be largely ignored by car thieves and cops Typically available in great shape for around $20,000 to $50,000, including some recommended repairs and enhancements This book is your guide to how owning a classic car can make your cool lifestyle aspirations come true and help you find 'life's sweet spot.' Without a lot of automotive jargon, Robert P. Hall covers the plusses and minuses of each of the three models in a clear and readable style, recommends extra performance tweaks, and even shares commentaries by some of the best-known sports-car writers. Hall also includes lists of online resources and further reading, an extensive glossary, and a full index.
