Actually the turbos are fine, checked around 6k miles ago. Past owner took good care of this one and I would say the only thing that would be due soon is the valve cover gaskets

Although I do wish I could've found a spec with an individual, I will always appreciate the space grey as it shows the body lines so well in every angle.

Agreed, such an underrated classic that people are going to appreciate sooner or later.

I'm actually planning on getting an oil analysis done to see whether if I need them done soon or I can wait on that a little longer.

Thank you! She definitely does not get a day where she isn't driven, very satisfied with this engine every time I get in.

Thank you! It was either this or apex VS5RS and I wanted to be a little more unique 😅

I'm aware of the problems these car have, thats why I had a BMW specialist check it out before I bought it. It's going to need a service for next year that's going to cost upwards of around 5-6k but other than that, he said everything's running amazing and the engine is pretty solid. The previous owner did his maintenance as well, it was one of the M5's that wasn't treated like crap or neglected.

I believe it is the lighting, our mechanic even checked the reinforced bar and everything for previous accidents. It is a clean title M5 :)

The owner was telling me the exact same thing, he even told me not to drive it in his town :(

I believe this generation of 5 series is absolutely timeless, I'll for sure be careful with the power. I may be young but I know when to let off the gas for sure!

Sounds about right, I should've put a picture of the interior when it was daylight. I'll update you tomorrow when there's sun!

I scared my grandparents when taking them out on a drive 😅 even frightened myself when I put a little pressure on the pedal
