Have a dealer run the VIN to see if the Vanos oil line and SMG hydraulic actuator bulletins have been done. If so, go for it.
If the the Vanos and SMG bulletins were not done by the previous owner, then would you say not go for it? Just curious.
Can't the new owner of a used M5 just get the recall work done at their dealer? Thanks.
Then the question becomes whether the VIN of the car in question is within the range of VINs affected by the bulletins. If it is, and the work has not been done, the new owner should be able to have the work done. Remember that some bulletins permit the work only if a failure occurs, not just because the car's VIN qualifies. In many such cases, if the car already has been driven for a significant number of miles without failure, there generally is less reason to worry/If the the Vanos and SMG bulletins were not done by the previous owner, then would you say not go for it?

Agree with jasdad. If car has a clean history and recalls were done before any damage, then buying 06 should not be an issue.Should I look for a 2007 and not mess with the problems of the first model year?
Also, what experiences have you had leasing a used e60 M5? Can I expect rate to be similar to a 5yr. loan?
Thanks again for your thoughts....
