Hello all,
I am newer here and recently purchased a 2002 M5 with 90K on the clock. It was a 2 owner car from the south and has never seen snow so I'm very pleased with the body, etc.
While I love the M5 and have had one years ago, I know very little about wrenching on one other than minor MAF cleaning, brakes, etc.
I have a series of upgrades planned including headers, possible ESS SC, etc.
I would like to get a full workup done first before spending the money on these items. Without having proper service records from the party I purchased from I'd love to go over the car with a fine tooth comb and fix anything needing done well in advance, and ensure it has the proper structure to support making major upgrades.
If it turned out to not be the case I'd prefer selling to someone who isn't looking for those upgrades and buying a lower mileage car to start with.
I live 30mi north of Cinci so anything in the Dayton/Cincinnati area is neutral distance for me.
The clutch seems to be slipping when shifting into 4-5th under heavy acceleration, and the rear makes noise every time I hit a significant bump. I can't personally feel any other problems, but that means very little!
TIA
