If you're interested, read the BigGar threads as I mentioned. They were well cared for. One of the E39 M5s that had 105 miles was sold to a board member whereupon the internet mavens descended upon him telling him what a disaster the car was going to be, etc. He put it into regular daily duty and had no issues. The cars under BigGar's care were well taken care of and maintained regularly. It was an outstanding collection.
