Hey guys,
I am looking at a 2 owner 2002 M5 with 79K miles. First owner was a lady who bought it and drove till 37,000 miles.
The current owner (55 yr old gentleman) has had the car since 37,000 miles.
I contacted the shop where the car has been serviced all its life and have received the following information.
"Apart from regular scheduled maintenance the car has only has the following things replaced:
final stage fan resister (6/08)
the thermostat (1/10)"
The 02 sensors, CPS, VANOS, bushings, water pump, MAFs, power steering pump etc ALL have not yet been replaced.
The owner of the Indy BMW shop claims the particular car in question has been extremely reliable and has had neither of the issues (above) that I asked about specifically.
What do you guys think? Is it possible to go almost 80K miles without having any of the above issues?
Am I looking at a car that will need all of the above items as soon as I buy it?
