newer bimmers can last upwards of 150K.
Don’t belive me? I know a few people who drive some e46’s with 165K+ and the car drives perfect

Of course they can. So can old BMW’s.
The simple fact that you posted this thread with obviously little knowledge of the E39’s shows that you do not know very much about BMW’s and you should do some research, as previously stated.
I am sure 66impalass was refering to the fact that high mileage early model E39 M5’s are going to require a good deal of maintenance and expensive maintenance at that. (See Carbon build up reference)
