The high mileage doesn't really bother me as I've read that provided the maintance is all in order then its not a big deal - I'm guessing they're mostly highway miles anyways for the mileage to be that high
anyways - if anyone knows a bit about this one - feel free to post up here!! thanks!

I think i remember seeing that in the Trader before. It seems a little pricey though. I just bought a 2002 with 123km for $34000. I did get mine wholesale though.
Agree with previous posts that sounds a little high. If I did the conversions right, it's equivalent to a US car with about 110k miles for about $31k US dollars. Looking on US autotrader, for 31k you can expect cars with between 60 and 80k miles. For something over 100k, you shouldn't be paying much over $25k US. I don't know the Canadian market so maybe this is reasonable up north but I doubt there is a such a large discrepency in the market for this car between the two countries.
For what it's worth, I got my 2000 MY with 36k miles for $33k US. I'd say keep looking, there are plenty of these starting to come on the market and you could probably find a much better example for that price. IMHO.

You do pay more for an E39 M5 in Canada than the US. They are a lot rarer and the CDN model will not suffer the same emissions SES light problem that seems to plague the US models.
That seems like a fair price for such a high-miler if it has been looked after (most important with these cars).
Mine has 135K km, drives like a charm and I'd let it go for $38K (new MAFs, O2 sensor, brand new tires all round).
Good luck.
