... her anniversary gift.
It came wrapped pretty nicely too.

Picked it up? I thought you already had it.

(yeah, I probably missed something along the way...)

You guys must be thinking about this one.
My wifey deserves better than the wrapping that S38B36 came in.

My apologies for the confusion.
Here's another pic.

This post is no help, but your signature on the other hand.

95 525iT "Hers"
92 ///M5 (Her anniversary gift)
91 ///M5
88 ///M5 "The BEAST"
86 535i "Snob" (My DD)
79 528i 5 speed

Count 'em folks, that's 1 E12, 2 E28s and 3 E34s. 6 Bimmers, half of them of the S38 persuasion.

I think Sherman has become an //M addict.

He even has his wife in on the addiction!

Yep that's pretty much a given at this point...

Coldswede wrote:He even has his wife in on the addiction!

My wife just tolerates this hobby- Sherman's a lucky man! To her a car is only an appliance and hence the reason she has a RAV4 which I intentionally omit from my signature line...

Serman- moar pics and info please you S38 crazy person!

P.S. Does anyone else ever click themselves in circles following a Sherman thread? I know I have many times at this point...

davintosh · Post by **davintosh** » Mar 05, 2012 10:54 PM

Good grief, he's got another one.

Have you not been listening lately? Greed is bad, Sherman. You've got to spread the wealth -- and the ///Ms -- around.

And yes, Rodney; I do that on a regular basis. I think Sherman does that to us intentionally, and he's like -->

when we do it.

Got to see this car in person yesterday, gotta say it sure looks good for its age. Good buy Sherman!

Now give me the E34 touring super cheap, you don't need 6 cars!

The ///M emblem on the door, is that not from the factory? They're not on the '91 ///M5.

Where is all this headed? There is actually a method to the madness, or at least that's what I told myself.
Eventually the E12 and 91 ///M will become one flesh.
The '88 and the '92 ///M5's will maintain their true identity.
The '95 T will either be sold or held on to and eventually become a S38 recipient as well.
At that time my wife will have too decide which will be her DD.
I'll continue to DD Snob. She likes it.

And you said your treatments were slowing you down.

Put me on the interested list if you ever sell the touring, I dream of a transplant myself.

Congrats to the Mrs.

Oh, and I only follow to the first link. It saves me those dizzy spells.

The name 'Sherman' will be added to the list of people who I'll mention to my wife when she says I have a problem...

If she's street legal and I get the new throttle and cruise control cables in and installed by then.

Now let me go back and re-read the anniversary thread.
To be honest, I've been looking somewhat seriously for a black/black touring to replace her black/tan.
When I was alerted to this offering on the 26th I thought, why not, but just not at the advertised price.
I was patient and communicated with the seller a couple of times and finally when he offered it at the second discounted price, well...
