As I've written before, I like station wagons. Owning one like this is one of my biggest fantasies.
I could write about this car, but since the seller does such a great job of that in his ad, I'll just quote...
"This is a very special vehicle. A 1995 Euro-spec BMW M5 Touring, BMW Individual paint and interior. This is a 3.8l car, never sold in the US. Only 891 E34 Tourings were ever made, and only 119 in 1995, and only 4 with this color combo. This particular one is one of the last made, with a very late build date. This car has been federalized by JK Technologies, LLC in Baltimore, MD. Last I checked there were about 20 M5 E34 Tourings in the US. This is the only one that has been supercharged in the US. BMW forced induction done right - period-correct Albrex superchager (the father of centrifugal superchargers, from which Vortech lifted its design nearly whole-cloth) running about 5psi, with a large intercooler. The supercharger kit was created for this car by Herr Conrad Gruber of Austria, with a beautiful intake manifold for the six individual throttlebodies and a stout, 3/8" steel bracket. The supercharger install was conducted by Road Race Technologies (RRT) in Dulles, Virginia (roadracetech.com). The car runs Autronic SM4 engine management with Siemens 60# Mototron injectors and a Walbro 255 lph pump. Tuning was performed by Franz Diebold of Diebold Autosport (dieboldautosport.com), and resulted in about 440hp at the fly with a very conservative tune. Drivability is excellent, the car now pulls like a demon with a very linear curve and excellent torque (see rwhp dyno graphs attached). Car has always been impeccably maintained and Motul and Redline fluids used throughout. I am the second owner of this vehicle, I purchased it from a female doctor in Stuttgart."

There is no price listed for this car, but I'm pretty certain it's selling for more than I have in my "car account". My lottery ticket turned out to be nothing more than a $2.00 donation to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, so it looks like owning this car will remain a fantasy.

I drove a used E34 M5 back in 1993, when the dealer let my dad and I out in one while he was busy. My dad said it was the most fun he had since his E-type back in the 60s.
