Pricey M5

Is there something ungodly rare about this m5 i'm not seeing to warrant its price?

It is supercharged from Dinan which was REALLY expensive, and there are not many of them because of it... Its kinda like how RUF is so much more than every other tuner because they have the quality, the name and the relationship with the manufacture (BMW Dealers can sell this kit!).

The Dinan S3 supercharger package for that car is around $65,000 if I am not mistaken! It does include many other things though beside engine components (suspension, wheels, tires, etc.) and that doesn't include all of the body work he had done...

Well after all that, yea its still a HUGE ripoff and it won't sell for that . You could rebuild that exact car with the cost of a used M5 today for around 100-125K!

Yea seriously...

It's a nice car... But realistically, it's not even worth $90k.

This guy doesn't realize that, in most cases, aftermarket mods actually bring the value of the car down...

And... It doesn't say, "$250k total in mods," anywhere in that ad... It says, "Over $250K invested." Which it still very hard to believe... I would like to see the documentation.

That is amazing, but it won't sell at that price.
