I go at three a.m. for Raisenettes and PeanutButter cups. But why use a beater car, perfect excuse for playing on the roads. |

The e39 540i has been depreciating quite a bit and is a lot of car for how cheap they are now. Not sure how reliable they are at higher miles.

Not a BMW but at your price point is be looking for a B5 S4. Bought one new in 2001 and loved that car.

E21 320i(s)...take care of it, prep/maintain it and it should run like a champ. Who know, maybe I just like the car so much that I don't think about other things.

E28 would be an awesome car but I doubt if it can be bought for 4-5k. That car is super rare now a days and IMO you really have to pay a premium to find one in good running condition. However, an E36 doesn't sound like a bad idea!

635CSi with a dogleg gearbox....
Oh wait, that's non US only. I think the m535 also has a dogleg. (I think that one was called 535is in the US). That's on the e28 chassis to be clear.
