Hello M5 Gurus,

I am new to this board (as you can tell), but can't wait to be part of it....

I am looking at buying an used M5 , its a 2000 with 64000 miles on it... The car looks clean for the years and runs good..looks like it was a 2 owner car and is free of accidents or any damage. Beyond that I do not have any clues what to check for as far as mechanical etc.....

Any pointers before I just go for it???? anything to be aware of as far as that particular year model or any gotchas???


Thanks for any replies...

-Kam

Hi Kam,

Hope you get a good one.

Note that the forum is split into model sections.
You just posted in the E34 1989 - 1996 section.
The vehicle you are looking at is a E39 M5 which got produced after 1999.
You might get more replies by reposting in the E39 section

I think the answer you were looking for was, forget the E39 and buy an E34 much better.

Let the discussion commence and drive Davido mad, if you get one please don't forget to ask what type of oil is the best to use. There are some real experts on here to help you. zzzzz

Welcome to the madhouse by the way. They are great cars.
