Al,

This is EXACTLY the car I'm looking for...Unfortunately (for me) I've got just under a year left on my current lease..Wifey might have a problem if I pulled the trigger..

Maybe if I store it over at your place till next spring?
The wife will forgive you but you might not forgive yourself if you don't get it!

I don't believe I've ever seen a car sell on here. You have to remember it's similar to bringing a hot dog to picnic. We already have hot dogs and most of us are just concerned about the added condiments.

I'd try eBay or Autotrader because I doubt you'll find much interest on here. I tried once myself without a single PM or reply.

What you say makes sense. The thought process I used in posting here is that someone may be looking to upgrade or may have a friend looking for an E60. I will certainly use the other sites you mentioned, but decided to start here. I previously owned an E39 M5 so I also posted on M5Board. There I used a different marketing approach, seeing if there were any M5 owners looking for a sensible downgrade

Thanks for your comments

First post, plugs the car...?

Nope & nothing like that Dr

Been a lurker here for a while and post on a # of bimmer forums. Owned a # of Bimmers over the last decade:

98 E36 328 6mt
01 E39 540i 6mt (Dinan Stage 2)
02 E46 M3 Cab SMGii

Haven't owned a bimmer since that lovely steel grey m3 - instead owning a bunch of american cars. Ended-up in a negative equity situation that I tossed into a two year lease on a Mazda x-over..

Got less than a year on that self-imposed exile and am watching for that perfect 550, 545 6mt..Unfortunately, Al's is available about 6 mos too early for me..At least he's getting some nice bumps out of the deal!

Al -- I'll quit hijacking your thread and very best of luck on a sweet car...If by chance you still have this in the fall, drop me a line!

Rick,

Thanks for the activity. At least I don't have to look on the second page to find this thread.

Actually, my wife wants me to keep the car and I am not in any rush. I am within 1-2 years of retirement and have started the automobile downsizing process. If you have interest later on and the car is still available, feel free to contact me.
