Used Car of the Day: 1992 BMW M5
If old Bimmers are your thing, this 1992 BMW M5 might be right up your alley.
It's a stick, it's in Vegas, and has 185,000 miles on it. There appears to be minor cosmetic damage (dings and such) and the AC needs a recharge. The seller claims to have the service records.
It appears the interior also needs a bit of TLC but apparently not much.
One note -- the transmission is a beefier unit than the OEM gearbox, but the seller has the original unit available.
For what it's worth, the muffler was replaced at some point along the line.
The ask for this Vegas-based car is $20,500.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

A proper Bavarian clunker.
Just looking at the design, it seems obvious that anatomically correct people with clear ethics designed this once fine car. Most modern Bimmers appear to have been designed by people with their heads so far up their bulging arses they can't only faintly hear someone shouting how to unround a headlight and something about a kink in the pillar of sea
