2001 Facelift E39 M5

Yeah of course understand you would require commitment before shipping the car to mainland.

I would want the same.

Is there an easy way for me to get to ullapool on public transport?

[nicksonmsport]

Just looking about. There is an overnight train to inverness. Is it possible u could meet me there?

[gmac78]

The only way to Ullapool using public transport is by bus, takes about an hour if memory serves me, perhaps a little more, theres about 55 miles between the two. It's a good spin back to Inverness, good driving road!!

[nicksonmsport]

Would u bring the car to inverness one morning?

[gmac78]

If your willing to pay the travel costs through i'll come to meet you. It would probably cost an easy £200 for me to get the car fully legal and across to Inverness. It's a full days travel there and back.

[nicksonmsport]

Its gonna cost me 200 for the train. 250 for fuel back home and another 200 odd for u to get the car to inverness! Thats 650 quid to get home. Along with 16 hours travelling!

Im very interested but the costs are mounting up!

[gmac78]

Yes i can understand where your coming from, theres a fair distance between us. Not having to come to the island saves a whole day travelling though, so i guess in theory you could come up to Inverness and be back home the same day.

I know it's short notice but if you decided on the car i could take it to Inverness on Wednesday for you, the earliest i could be there would be around 11 in the morning, other than it would be another few weeks before id be able to meet you as i've got a break away with the family planned then directly after that a four day course for work. Before i know it i'll be back offshore again, eeek!

[nicksonmsport]

Thanks for the offer but no chance I can get there by then.

Im away until 17th august so once im back will give u a shout and see if its still about.

Regards

[gmac78]

Yeh no worries, i'll be offshore by then but i'm sure we can sort something out when we're both free. Cheers Gordon.

Hi. Just checked my dates for going offshore, I got them mixed up, I'll be going away on the 19th so could meet then if that was suitable for you.

Cheers

[gmac78]

Yet another bump guys, interested in another S2 to add to the collection so if any swaps on the go drop me a line.

Cheers

i bought an e60 m5. if you fancy any kind of deal with the e39 and cash my way could possibly still be interested. but i value the e60 at 15k.

[gmac78]

No thanks mate, not so keen on that model. How come your selling it so soon?

[gmac78]

In fact i quite like the older S4's too, more so the saloon versions. They're getting quite thin on the ground these days but would also be interested in one of those.

[nicksonmsport]

no worries was just a thought. its not for sale atm, just thought i would see if it was of any interest. i bought it not because i was actually looking for one, but because a friend was selling at a good price and so i was tempted! it was never the plan to keep it for a long time, but more to just experience owning the v10 and then move on. its an awesome car, but its a bit too big for me, and even though the smg isnt too bad when your pressing on, its all about manuals for me.

the fuel consumption is also a bit silly lol. but i knew that would be the case anyway

lovely car, but more of a motorway bruiser than an a/b road blaster which is more my scene. although maybe the e39 is similar in that way, but least its manual trans
