GTB/ZR-1

I have an AWESOME 5 series BMW that's been HIGHLY modified(see below) by noted BMW Tuner: 'Race Marque Systems' out of CA. I acquired this car early last year(to ironically replace my Millenium Yellow '01 Z06), because I needed a 4 door. I have since upgraded my pickup to a 4 door Crew. So, I again long for a Z06, this time preferrably w/ Forced induction or Head/Cam, Stroker etc. in MY or Silver w/ Mod Red(if possible).
I *might* also consider a 6spd C5 w/ above mods, no black, white or green.
My car is MINT, and no expense was spared--so I'm looking for a car done right, and in similar condition.
I realistically value my car in the low $30's(a standard 528i is valued @ $23k, and the mods, figuring 25% of their original cost of over $40k should add another $10k). I am not looking for a person that wants $60k+ for their car, I would like to deal w/ another realistic individual ;)
I realize this is a long shot and the car is NOT a C5, but hey, one never knows... Pls e-mail me if SERIOUS(gtbzr1@yahoo.com). Thanks,

George Bonafede

1998 BMW Race Marque Systems(RMS) E39 528i/M5 clone:
This car is Silver/2-tone gray/black interior, 49K miles, no accidents, non-smoker, garage kept. The car is in extra clean condition and matches an M5 in looks and (if not exceeding)performance. It has excellent, almost OEM drivability. It gets great mileage on the highway, and is FEROCIOUS @ WOT!!!(faster than a 6 spd C5 'Vette--we know, we have one). It ran a 13.50 @ 108 without a cool-down in the middle of a FL summer. The car has abt 10K mi. on the motor, and almost zero on the re-sealed supercharger. Well over $40k was spent @ noted BMW tuner Race Marque Systems in CA. It is fully sorted, overbuilt and ready...

I just wanted to comment on a very nice looking car. I was wondering, why didn't you just buy a M5 from the start? You seem to have spent the same amount of money moding this 6 cyl.

Either way this car is very :cool:

Good point... I bought the car this way. The prior owner spent BIG bucks on the car to make it run w/ M5+ performance(He realized he could have had an M5 when it was all said & done...). The car is very unique, and it was done right.
One thing is certain, it will run w/ an M5 and look the part for abt 1/2 the price :thumbs:
Thanks for the compliment :cheers:

George good looking car. You can't have anything stock :D George's Corvettes looked awesome at the SGC ZR1 Gathering. I bet the Bimmer does too :cheers:

You'll like road racing a C5. :yesnod: I still love the ZR1 but the cost of mods on the car and dealing with 10 year old car issues talked me out of the ZR1. Even with that said seeing the LPE 368 in Texas go for $27.5k still makes me :cuss Oh well I'm really happy with my FRC :cool:

Willing to talk to someone w/ a mildly modded Z06 as well...
Someone out there looking to upgrade to a 4 door w/o giving up much in the way of performance? :D

GTB/ZR-1

No trades needed now--I just bought a Z06...
I'll take $26k for this unreal sedan($40k+ in HIGH QUALITY mods pratically for free...) Pls pass the word to anyone you feel may be seriously interested, thx :cheers:
