You'll need to overhaul the engine at some point soon if you keep it very long. Save your pennies for that: you're looking at $15-20K.
Note that there are very few indies who have M5 experience. This car could be a money sink. If you're falling in love with it, be aware it will cost as much as, or more than, a mistress.
And, finally, remember that this car is a bastard, and unique parts will be 2-3X more expensive than standard E34 parts. _________________

with the above post (all too true) it IS a friggin super car too.
when its up to spec, it will astonish you, and even surpass all other (even new 2008) models (and decimate all other brands (honda/acura/lexus/etc))) _________________ .......... |
