Nicely done. The e39 M5 is still one of my favorite cars. ---

Congrats on a great car. As these are getting older how costly is the maintenance/ common issues? ---

Nice car. I was seriously considering buying this car since it was cheap, but the lack of maintenance history kept me away. Hopefully everything goes well for you. I have been looking for an e39 M5 for months, but I’m picky and the right car has not turned up yet. ---

I have been looking for an e39 M5 for months, but I’m picky and the right car has not turned up yet. good luck man. This car is pretty solid so far, however the body wasnt nearly as in good shape as the previous owner posted. oh well, nothing the dent wizard and a freshly painted front bumper cover cant fix.🙂 ---

I want mine to be as good or better then new withing a year. I have put 7k miles on mine so far. With a ton of track time.
