I have a s62 for sale out of a 2000 M5 with 147k miles on it.
The engine sounds great, has great throttle response, oil light goes out immediately, No oil in the coolant. No signs of oil leaks. I think it is a solid engine although I am not providing any warranty.
A video clip is below: The first part is a cold start, had not been started for a week.. The vacuum cleaner noise you here is the Secondary air pump which engages during the first 60 seconds of a cool start. That hose was severed in the crash so It is a little loud.( It is air injection for smog on cold start and does not affect performance.) The second start is with a warm engine and I gun the throttle a couple of times, followed by a slow steady rpm climb to 5500.
