I have been a member here since 2000 (probably most known in this part of the forum for the E39 production statistics thread http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e3...p-e39-m5-extensive-production-statistics.html and at least since 2013 I have wanted to have an E39 M5. A couple of weeks ago I finally got to purchase one!
It's a 2000 German market car with a fairly long list of options, including Caramel leather (M3CR). Has the upgraded engine since it is a 7/2000 build. My intention is to restore everything to original condition (except the navigation which I prefer to have 9:16).
One question, when driving in 5th and 6th and around 1500 rpm there is a vibration when I give it some gas. Could it be a bad flex disc (no 2 in the link) or is it more common to have issues with the prop shaft centre support? I am really not familiar with this problem.

A couple of pictures of the car in it's current condition. I am looking for a mint condition driver's seat as it kind of spoils the interior as it is now.
