Thanks for all the replies....
> might swap the diff, want t drive it for a while b4 making a decision.
> oil....knew this would be pandors box..same thing on NSX board, its like asking someone what beer they prefercherrsagai . I run a 5-30 oil made by NEO on my NSX, alhtough the manual says 10-30...but the car is out of warrant. I am really concerned about staying out of trouble with BMW on the warranty, plan on keeping this one a long time, going to call Dinan and see what is recommended. I dont track the car, just "spirited" driving mostly.
> I paid around $ 57K for the car. They gave me $ 35K for my 03 540sport with 33K. The M5 is perfect, not one ding, rock chip, etc. In addition to the S2 pkg, also had clear bra, window tint, full records, etc. Milage was a little high for an 03 (32K) but clearly the car had been properly maintined and driven with care by an enthusiast. BMW Sticker plus Dinan mods on this car was over $100K from Global Imports here in Atlant.
Given you never get mods you do paid back, I might have paid a little over market, however as Warren Buffet says: " I'd rather pay fair price for a great company (car) than great price for a fair company (car).
