How does this engine sound? B36
Hi folks

After beeing a member on this board for almost 10 years, time has come to buy an M5 myself.
I have experience working on my e30 318is and e34 520iT, but no experience with the s38. So my eye has fallen on a car with only 109k kms. The seller sended me these vids of the car starting cold, and a bit after. What do you guys think? Sounds good/bad/normal? Thanks in advance, I'm reading every buyers guide I can find at the moment

Looks a nice example and 109t km is nothing assuming she's been looked after .

E39 M5 alloys are a matter of personal taste and preference .

Actually taking the car for a test drive will be far more enlightening than your amount of videos , pictures , testimonials , letters of authenticity from the seller's Mother , character witness statements or Baby photos !

Best Wishes ,
D

You're completely right about that, but before i travel 1000miles I want to be sure of at least some things ^^

The biggest problem is that most S38's sound like a bag of nails on video !
