06 m5 help

Dlima0284 · 01-09-2014, 03:38 PM

I currently own a 05 525i and love it .. But I've always wanted a "m" . I'm turning to the forum members for some advice . I seen a 06 m5 with 70k miles on it going for $32k at a private dealership ..Right off the bat I would like to know if that sounds right? Second I would like to know if there is anything I should be looking for to indicate I should job on it or not? And help would be great

If I could get 32k for my '06, I'd sell it before eating lunch today.

Overpriced IMO, regardless of history with 70k. Check on M5board for some meticulously maintained cars asking far less than that. Low 20's is more reasonable.

32k for an '06 might be a good deal, *if*:

- New rod bearings
- replaced VANOS pump with new version (released early '06, but not many got it)
- VANOS HP line replaced
- injectors all replaced
- new throttle actuators

otherwise, you're overpaying.
