What is /o/'s consensus on the e39 M5? I have a chance

20k is a bullshit price for that car with that many miles.

one of the best sport sedans ever built
not too expensive to maintain if you do everything yourself and source parts properly, but expect upwards of 2 grand a year in costs (them m5 exclusive part markups)

Don't pay an extra 4 g's for the color, $5000 will get you an easy to install supercharger kit that will take you to 500hp without bolt ons. Get a good tune do some cheap bolt ons, and you will have a car that can beat gtr's for around 25k

records of the timing chain, guides, cooling system, and vanos seals being done? If not, walk.

Why lie on the internet?

>>15986067
>muh crankshaft bearings
No they don't. Some go 300k some go 60k. Such is life with a hand built engine.

e34 m5 > tho

3.8 really is finicky though. Worth it, but finicky. Also way more expensive for a good one than an E39. Though they're just not there yet.

>>15985005
It's a good car if you can afford the maintenance and gas. Keep in mind that it's a full size sedan and not a sports car. Get the black one if anything, 16k is still quite a lot for that car.

>>15985005
where the fuck do you americans come up with these retarded prices? 20k for that shitbox are you fucking kidding me? do you know what kind of cars you can buy for 20k?

Man, america has some nice cars for cheap but whenever i see this shit it makes me glad i dont live in that shithole.
