Test drove a 2000 M5 with 82,000 miles today. It was the first one I've ever driven and I have a few questions.
1. First off there was more play in the steering than I thought, Could this be the Thrust arm bushings I've read about? How costly is that?
2. The trip comp thing under the speedo/odometer, I pressed both buttons numerous times and nothing happened? How does that work?
3. Obviously cup holders were broken. Can they be replaced?
4. It was extremely hard to get the trunk to open, The button inside wouldnt work and i had to put the key in the trunk and turn it random ways while pulling up on the button by the lisence plate. How is it supposed to work?
5. The drivers power fold mirror tries to fold out too far and it just keeps clicking?
6. The seat heaters wouldnt stay on. The lights would illuminate for a second then shut off?
7. My friend in the backseat noticed a squeaking noise. I didnt hear it. Is there any common noises that would come from the rear? Do these have crappy RSM's and RTAB's like the E46?
Any help is appreciated, My main concern is the steering. I know it wont be as direct as the E46 M3 I drove but It definitely has too much slop/play in it.
