watch out, the older ones are right around 10k now. I think I'd like to own one for about 1 year. Enough time to have fun with it but not long enough to go bankrupt from repairs.

2002, 03, 04 models are pretty cheap but I have no idea what maintenance and parts cost. I've been wanting to get one for a while but also don't want to go bankrupt maintaining.

Anything AMG is awesome. But as a German car lover and owner, I can tell you anything German is crazy expensive to maintain. Just normal run of the mill windshield wipers from O'Reilly's was $65 for my 528i. Anything with an AMG, M, or S on the decklid will cost you even more than the standard car.

Runs 11 with a pulley and a tune. No real maintenance issue on the E55's. It is one of their most reliable cars.

4 door 335i BMW are sleepers as well. Those things are plain with no "M" badging and will blow the doors off of most of the cars out there. Including mustangs. They're just a tune away from 400+ horsepower. Even the non-sport versions.

Sorry the 93 Cobra isn't for sale, his E55 fun to drive, he lets me borrow it when I am in Vegas, check out his house, I visit him all the time, if it wasn't so hot there I would move there, funny thing is he owns a Prius and Volt also, California has too many laws
