    figured i'd try here
    Looking for a 2004-2007 530i 4 door sedan with sport and M package, must have a manual trans
    Will also consider a 2008 528i same specs
    Would prefer to skip an AWD model, but if it meet the specs i'll consider it

    Or a 530xi wagon with a manual trans. Won't be picky on the options with this one i know they are rare.

    If anyone knows of one let me know, don't care about colours, if its hot pink my wife would actually be pretty happy haha

    Thanks! Really just looking for a straight 6 though. I passed on a 550 because I really don't need 360hp and 15l/100km fuel economy to putter along in day to day traffic

    I had an 2008 550 6 sp with sport package. The consumption on the hwy was 9l/100 kms. Great car that had updates over the 07 model. The 535i is also a good choice. The front end is a couple of hundred pounds less than the 550i. Good luck in you search.

    Spotted this 2001 LeMans Blue M5 E39 on eBay the other day.
    Car is in Charlotte, NC so I don't know how easy it is to import it into Canada.
    The bright color, low miles (52k), and manual transmission is what caught my eye.

    Seller wants bidding to start at $28k.
    Not sure what price he'll accept. Perhaps around $35k or so?

    Kind of high. There's some nice example north of the border also. Keep your ear to the ground.
