The end of an era
Well, it's been 25 years with my '93 L.E., which I've owned since new, and over 10 years since I sent it over to FM for some tender ministrations. With a 30AE ND on order and my track-mostly MSM handling track duties I needed to make room. It was with a heavy heart that I handed the keys over to a fellow Miata enthusiast who's also a local Club member and Spec Miata racer. He'll look after it properly, drive it like it should be driven and, occasionally, even offer visitation rights. Here's a pic of the proud new owner (and son) taking possession yesterday evening:

The repair bill climbs even faster. Replaced an engine on one. It was even the "simpler" manual trans too. Referb'd long block was $18k, labor to R&R was another $12ish I think. You experienced an amazing car the correct way, without actually owning it.
Sorry for your loss.

That looks like an F10 M5.
Although, having said that, I don't think I'd own an F10 either, not unless BMW provided me with a sworn affidavit stating that the entire powertrain engineering team from the E60 had been drawn and quartered.
