Found this today. Looks like a clean car, way to much money IMO. I did notice the inside computer does not have all the buttons avail. Is that correct, because my car has all the buttons there? Also for a clean 95 they do not look like power or the nice seats, am I wrong? What would you guys wanna pay for this. Thank you for yalls help. :)

i believe there are 2 versions of the OBC out there. one for more complex and one for more simpler usage.

I agree. I wonder what options are missing on that OBC?

Ive seen this car on autotrader for a while, since it is extremely close to where i live. iunno though. price is steep, but if your still interested, i may be able to check it out or ask more about it for you.

That would be very nice of you. Please do not go out of your way. I am just curious as to why so high of a price.

It's an m5, not a 525. Someone should email those guys to tell them to charge more for it.

I love the M 525. It set the standards today's M5 trys to embrace and evolve. I'm gonna get me an M badge and start converting some raw german power.... yah das es correct. touch the monkey. It's the three colors that increase Hp.

Congratulations, you've found an options combination I never knew was made for the U.S.

That's a Value Package car, which means no options. It would have had bottlecaps, vinyl seats, door panels, no wood, limited OBC.

What I didn't know is

A) you could get a 5-speed with the VP

B) you could get black interior with the VP

99% of the value package cars had auto and Parchment interior.

As far as the price, they'll be lucky to get half that.

Actually it wouldn't make much sense if you actually couldn't since auto tranny is always extra $$$.

Right but remember how the vast majority of these cars were auto. I'm surprised that it's taken 3 years of following the E34 market to find a VP manual.

It's rare but not necessarily desireable.
