damn, if I didn't have my car i'd buy that in a second...

@ $18.5K it could need a motor for all i'd care... a motor for an E39 M5 is $14K plus $18.5K = $32K which is still a steal for an E39 M5....even a 2000.

the motor is one big ticket item, but what will kill you with an older BMW- and coming up on a hundred thou- it's all going to need service in the next hundred- are all of the other big ticket items- everything on those is silly expensive, and since it's an M- it's even worse- expect to spend your 18G to buy, 14G like zoeb says for a motor, and another 20 thou or so for all the rest of the stuff that's about to go;
Tranny, diff, driveshaft, CV joints, shocks, weatherstripping, seat motors..... the list goes on and on.

it might be worth it to someone, but I'll pass

if those pics are legit, it looks like the real deal. the regular 5 series engine doesn't look anything like the m5, and those pics show an m5 motor.

For $18k, just buy it and park it in front of your house and show it off...

Then sell it for $40k
