| 5 Series (E12, E28, E34, E39, E60, E61) From the very beginning the 5 Series has had cutting edge styling with leading edge performance. Comfortable on a plush drive, or capable in a performance setting, the 5 Series has always done it all. From the Sedan, to the Touring, to the Beast known as the ///M5, there is a reason that 5 Series owners are the most steadfast enthusiasts of the brand. |

The price is about right. I would get an Autocheck instead of a carfax. It's cheaper and you get a lot more information. The prices of M's have tanked in the past year so, that's priced to sell.

The above are the specs on the car based on the VIN number. It has noting to do with the Carfax records. If you are seriously interested in the vehicle and want more info re those 27 found records, you'll have to pony up the coin to purchase the Carfax yourself. See the forum FAQ for more info. Car looks nice, btw. Especially for that mileage and price. Re the number of records, that's not a bad thing necessarily. My 4Runner had a ton of records, pretty much every time the PO took it in for service it was recorded.

I just saw a cherry M5 at Pick N Pull that had "Pink Spray Paint" all over the engine, yes it was a victim of that POS Clunker Law as well a 850 and one 740, so sad and sick to see this besides a V-12 Jag engine. That sucked, sorry had to vent.

never buy a salvage titled car, period. You will get a crappy car and you will never get your money back (or worth)
